To a limited degree...if you have R2,
Right click "My Computer", select "Manage" to bring up management MMC. Select Diagnostics -> Event Viewer -> Applications and Service Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Print Service -> Operational ->...right click that Operational and enable log. Let her build for a while and see if that gives you enough of what you want. Else...really done in 3rd party printer management software that comes with higher end business class printers/MFPs.
