Description

Packit 2fc92b
The CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network printers using SNMPv1.
Packit 2fc92b
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.
Packit 2fc92b
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.
Packit 2fc92b

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.

Packit 2fc92b
This can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.
Packit 2fc92b

In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the

Packit 2fc92b
lpinfo(8)
Packit 2fc92b
command.
Packit 2fc92b
The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the configured
Packit 2fc92b
broadcast addresses.
Packit 2fc92b
Note: no broadcast addresses are configured by default.

Files

Packit 2fc92b
The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if
Packit 2fc92b
present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging
Packit 2fc92b
level.
Packit 2fc92b

Conforming To

Packit 2fc92b
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.
