The following printcap entries:
:af=
:as=
:ae=
will nullify any accounting file entries. You may also want to add
@accounting
to your ifhp options listing for your printers, to tell ifhp not to
bother trying to get page counts. Or maybe you want to leave them in
there, so you have some record of how many pages are printed out of a
given printer (may come in handy for maintenance purposes).

lpq.[0123] are cached lpq output files. They are not log files.
status contains output from the printer filter. status.<pr> contains
some logging information regarding jobs being accepted into and removed
from the given queue.
You can define log files in the printcap using :lf= to save the same info
as status.<pr> (and a whole lot more). There are options to keep status
and status.<pr> from growing too large.
As far as I know, there are no syslog hooks for logging from LPRng. No
reason you couldn't rotate those logs with your usual syslog log rotation
mechanism, though.
