Hello. So I was wondering if I can look up my printing history because I deleted the file but needed it again and I printed it out about more than a year ago. So I was wondering if I can get it back even if I didn’t have the ink subscription

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

Very few printers keep print history -- those that do are limited to a few of new top-shelf OfficeJet Pro models and perhaps a few of the more expensive Laser printers.

 

In other instances,

Even were the print history available, it would be limited to date and job type.

No actual "reprint" data would have been saved.

 

Instant Ink is a recurring print-by-page subscription model.

There is no Instant Ink print job history that allows you to retrieve jobs from the past.

 

Windows can be set to save print jobs -- although vulnerable to a variety of interruptions, it might be worthwhile to set up at some point.  True, doing so now is worthless for retrieving data from a year ago.
