Zero to no none. Melt, yes, if allowed to sit on the bulb. Catch fire? Not likely.

I don't think that wax paper is going to work, ink has to penetrate the paper and be absorbed into the fibers and the wax coating will not let that happen. Why not just put a piece of the paper you are going to use behind the lamp shade for a few days and watch to see what happens. If you check it a few times a day for say a week and nothing obvious happens to the paper, then it should be ok to go ahead with pictures.
