It's misleading. That is actually used by Do_sync to check to see if
the printer is responding. "NAME" is substituted with ifhp's pid and
a timestamp, and the response to that command is that the printer echo
back what it was asked to. The status is actually obtained by sending
a ctrl-t to the printer, where it will reply with something like:

%%[ status: idle ]%%

It goes completely offline, and will not respond to any more commands
until you manually intervene.
