NAME
     snmp - cups snmp backend (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
     /usr/libexec/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
     lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp

DESCRIPTION
     The  DEPRECATED CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identifica-
     tion of network printers using SNMPv1.  When used for discovery through the
     scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond to  a  broadcast
     SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name.  Additional queries are then
     sent to printers that respond in order to determine the correct device URI,
     make and model, and other information needed for printing.

     In  the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look up
     the device URI and other information when you have an IP address  or  host-
     name.   This  can	be used for programs that need to configure print queues
     where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.

     In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the  lpinfo(8)
     command.  The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the config-
     ured  broadcast  addresses.  Note: no broadcast addresses are configured by
     default.

ENVIRONMENT
     The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL	environ-
     ment   variable.	 The  MaxRunTime  value  can  be  overridden  using  the
     CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.

FILES
     The SNMP  backend	reads  the  /usr/local/etc/cups/snmp.conf  configuration
     file, if present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and
     logging level.

NOTES
     The  CUPS	SNMP  backend is deprecated and will no longer be supported in a
     future version of CUPS.

CONFORMING TO
     The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port
     Monitor MIBs along with some  vendor  private  MIBs  and  intelligent  port
     probes  to  determine  the  correct  device URI and make and model for each
     printer.
