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
/usr/local/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
