No, only the Standard-Message:

Feb 28 09:53:22 b-bup cups-lpd[18161]: Connection from dumper (IPv4 
10.3.2.4)
Feb 28 09:53:22 b-bup cups-lpd[18161]: Receive print job for color_b_eg
Feb 28 09:53:22 b-bup cups-lpd[18161]: Closing connection


Thats all. Nothing More, nothing less. But plp gives the output:
Feb 28 09:53:22 dumper /usr/uti/lib/lpd[15677]: hp5550: Sendjob: 
sendname cfX066dumper to b-bup failed
