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 identification 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 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 environment variable.	 The MaxRunTime value can be
       overridden using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.

FILES
       The SNMP backend reads the /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 pri‐
       vate MIBs and intelligent port probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer.
