> I can not find much info on DSC

The DSC specification is on
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/pdfs/tn/5001.DSC_Spec.pdf

Bear in mind that DSC is only the format of wrapper comments in
PostScript. The comments in most cases don't do anything at all. They
accompany the actual PostScript code.

The way to get that actual code is typically from analysis of the PPD
file, since the code is completely specific to the printer. You will
want some background in PostScript programming to understand the
fragments in the PPD, but no amount of PostScript knowledge will let
you get by without the PPD.
