Howdy *,

I am not understanding how to create a status helper for ifhp. (I'm
looking at version 3.5.10)

I need to determine that name and/or address of the printer. My
work-around is as follows, (and it's undocumented, so I hope it will
not break any time soon.)
  pagecount=|/path/to/my/status_helper %P

If ifhp currently does not pass printer name and/or address to the
status helper, it would be nice to add such a feature, say to pass
them as argument. (That was meant for Patrick, of course.)

The example program in UTILS/use_snmp_for_status only checks the
printcap for the default printer. This, as I understand, is inadequate
for an envirnment with more than one printer. Am I right?

Thanks!
