No, but you can include it in ifhp.conf yourself.

I have added it in ifhp.conf thus:
# PRINTER % - HP Laserjet 8000 Series, {/hp(.*)/HP$1/}
[ hp8000 hp8100 hp8150 hp9000 ]
^^^^^^
*and* -- because I use the waitend_byjobname patch -- I have
an extra entry like this, a bit furter down:
#!End of [ hp8000 ]
# PRINTER hp9000
# New entry, we try this trick here too...
[ hp9000 ]
# to fix waitend
pjl_waitend_byjobname
#!End of [ hp9000 ]
As I understand this, it makes the 9000 inherit whatever
properties ifhp assumes about the 8000 etc., with the addition
of pjl_waitend_byjobname.

Yup, both these printers count pages like a dream with the
above-mentioned patch. Get it before they are sold out, at
http://www.groundsouth.com/patches/ifhp/
Our 2 HP9000's lost the pagecount (ie. counted 0 pages) for only 15
out of 8210 jobs last month (May). Our 75 HP4100's missed only 211 jobs,
out of 61514 jobs in the same period. A miss-rate of less then 0.5%
is very good, I think.
