the code is in ifhp's ifhp.conf file, and you can enable using postscript
sync + status + pagecounting by specifying "sync=ps" and "pagecount=ps"
in your config. here's what it looks like:
ps_status_code=
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
## for PS Level 3 add:
# false 0 startjob pop
( %%[ echo: NAME ]%% ) print () = flush
ps_pagecount_code=
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
## for PS Level 3 add:
# false 0 startjob pop
/p{print}def ( %%[ pagecount: ) p
statusdict begin pagecount end 20 string cvs p
( ]%% ) p () = flush
i'm using this on a savin 2055DP, 9955DP, and 9965DP because their pjl
is broken. it works well. it would work even better if the printer didn't
completely stop responding when it ran out of paper :)
