Well, it occurs to me (and I'm not 100% sure that I'm right, but 99% at
least) that you can't get a pagecount with that printcap entry because
you've entered "status@" on the ifhp line. If you are asking it not to get
status, of which pagecount is a part AFAIK, you aren't going to get a
pagecount value either.
I'd start looking there -- if you don't need status@ for some other reason
(it appears to worth without it there, as seen by your testing), kill it
off.
