SNMP backend is nice feature and I guess it's usable to some users (that's
why one can allways enable it). But, SNMP backend depends on printers
configured to use unsecure "public" community name. And, AFAIK, search
criteria can't be changed. So if one configures it's printer with different
community name, that printer won't be accessible over SNMP backend.

I op for it to stay disabled.

the snmp backend should be installed in /usr/lib/cups/backend
