It depends upon a lot of variables that have already been mentioned, but the bottom line is, the IT guy sounds clueless. If the print was sent through a print server then it "should" be trackable. However (and this is doubtful, considering the scenario), someone with "skills" could absolutely establish a direct connection to the device (printer) if the appropriate protocols are supported (and enabled), and there would be no traceable "audit trail". Again, not likely, but possible...
