Failures to print to lpd didn't give me any logging.

I noticed a few lpd errors by connecting manually to the printer (515) 
port.

These errors should have also gone to syslog:

1)  /usr/sbin/lpd: Connect from invalid port (42800)

(-W fixes above)

2) /usr/sbin/lpd: Host name for your address (192.168.0.99) unknown

lpd(8) doesn't document that and it was not logged.

3) pilchuck.reedmedia.net: /usr/sbin/lpd: Your host does not have line 
printer access

The above was caused by first line in hosts.lpd to have a minus sign. 
Maybe a hosts.lpd(5) man page is needed?

4) pilchuck.reedmedia.net: /usr/sbin/lpd: Illegal service request

Caused by own testing. I'll ignore that.

For 1, 2 and 3 above, these should by logged via syslog for easier 
troubleshooting.

Currently lpd uses its own fatal() function for many errors. Probably some 
of them should be syslogged too.
