I've encountered an /etc/rc.local script that gets some data and uses printf on it.
My question is: where does that data that is printed go when rc.local is executed on startup? Is there a log file or something I can look in to get it?

Unless you redirect the output, it will be printed on the screen during the boot process. The boot messages are supressed / hidden and go by fast.
Remove the boot options quiet and splash to see the messages.
See How can I show or hide boot messages when Ubuntu starts? for details.
They should be in the logs, ( /var/log/messages ) and/or in dmesg
