Hmm. My first thought is that we need the log of printer messages. Do
you have a /var/log/lpr.log or similar? Can you find where lpd is
logging to?

If not, I'd suggest installing cups simply so that you have more control
over the logging. You can change the loglevel in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and by default it logs to a number of files under /var/log/cups/ .
