I'm having a hard time making it fail. Even with Printf, in the output it tells you what you did wrong instead of returning an error.
In fact, the only _print function I could get to fail was Fprintf by sending an already closed file. I suppose if it was somehow not allowed to write to stdout the other functions might fail. But I'm not sure.
_, err := fmt.Printf("Hello %d", "world")
fmt.Println(err)
>> Hello %!d(string=world)
>> <nil>
