NAME

       snmp.conf - snmp configuration file for cups (deprecated)

DESCRIPTION

       The snmp.conf file configures how the standard CUPS network
       backends (http, https, ipp, ipps, lpd, snmp, and socket) access
       printer information using SNMPv1 and is normally located in the
       /etc/cups directory.  Each line in the file can be a
       configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment
       lines start with the # character.

       The Community and DebugLevel directives are used by all backends.
       The remainder apply only to the SNMP backend - cups-snmp(8).

DIRECTIVES

       The following directives are understood by the CUPS network
       backends:

       Address @IF(name)

       Address @LOCAL

       Address address
            Sends SNMP broadcast queries (for discovery) to the
            specified address(es).  There is no default for the
            broadcast address.

       Community name
            Specifies the community name to use.  Only a single
            community name may be specified.  The default community name
            is "public".  If no name is specified, all SNMP functions
            are disabled.

       DebugLevel number
            Specifies the logging level from 0 (none) to 3 (everything).
            Typically only used for debugging (thus the name).  The
            default debug level is 0.

       DeviceURI "regular expression" device-uri [... device-uri]
            Specifies one or more device URIs that should be used for a
            given make and model string.  The regular expression is used
            to match the detected make and model, and the device URI
            strings must be of the form "scheme://%s[:port]/[path]",
            where "%s" represents the detected address or hostname.
            There are no default device URI matching rules.

       HostNameLookups on

       HostNameLookups off
            Specifies whether the addresses of printers should be
            converted to hostnames or left as numeric IP addresses.  The
            default is "off".

       MaxRunTime seconds
            Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the SNMP
            backend will scan the network for printers.  The default is
            120 seconds (2 minutes).

NOTES

       CUPS backends are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a
       future feature release of CUPS.  Printers that do not support IPP
       can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
