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 identi-
       fication	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.	 Addi-
       tional  queries	are then sent to printers that respond in order	to de-
       termine 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
       hostname.  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	configured  broadcast addresses.  Note:	no broadcast addresses
       are configured by default.

ENVIRONMENT
       The DebugLevel value can	be overridden using the	CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL envi-
       ronment 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.
