It depends on where your system is logging. LP is logged as info or notice, so it grep info /etc/syslog.conf and grep notice /etc/syslog.conf should show where it is logging to. Default on most systems is /var/log/messages. The LPD doesn't do anything unless you are printing, so there may be few log records created by syslog, if any.
