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).
