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