Welcome to the HP Community --

Unfortunately,

The printer does not save print history.

For "next time",

Set up the Windows "save" option to save jobs sent to the queue -

Once set up, jobs are saved and can be reprinted later.

IMPORTANT

Removing / Reinstalling the printer software resets this option back to default (printed document list is not saved).

Job Reprint

Print Queue Management - Set up "Save a print job to reprint later"

The "reprint" feature must be set ahead of time to "Keep printed documents".  (The feature is not switched on by default.)

This method requires that the user base (those people submitting print jobs) do not sabotage the print queue by removing entries -- this is a matter determined by Policy in your home office / workplace.  (In other words, you must have a modicum of control over what people are doing).

Save jobs to be reprinted later

The following applies to recent versions of Windows and a printer for which the Full Feature Software / Full Solution Software has been installed.

 Windows 10

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers 

Right-Click on your Printer > Printer Properties

(If necessary) Change Properties

Tab Advanced

Select Keep printed documents > Apply > OK

Windows 11

Settings > (Bluetooth & devices) > Printers & scanners > Select Printer >

Printer Properties > Tab Advanced

Select Keep printed documents > Apply > OK

Next,

When jobs are saved in the queue, they can be printed again later.

Windows 10

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers 

Double-Click on your Printer

Double-Click on See What's Printing

--------------------------------------------------

Next - Find Job

Right-Click on saved job > Restart

Example - Windows Queue Management - Job Reprint
