What file is fax log data stored in?

[David]

Thanks Michael!

After I enabled the root user, I was able to go into /volumes/<different volume>/var/spool/cups and see the "c" files.  But then I discovered they're binary files.  : (

Is there a utility or Unix command that would allow me to search through the "c" files (like how grep allows me to search through plaintext files)?

This log has seven columns of data:  ID, Name, User, Size, Pages, State and Control. The "Name" column contains the filename, and also sometimes the name of the application from which the fax was sent.

Presumably when I look at the CUPS web interface fax log, I can only see faxes sent from the OS version I'm currently booted into.  But I want access to this data on the other partitions, without rebooting.
