how to view print history

[Dragon-Fur · Accepted solution]

@LORD11 

Welcome to the HP English Community --

This printer does not save print history.

Windows can save print history -- the feature must be switched on before it is needed.

Should the full driver printer software be reinstalled of if the print queue is cleared, previously stored history is lost.

Sample

=== --- === --- === --- === --- ===

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 change the print queue by removing entries.  If the full driver printer software is corrupted, reloaded, or removed, the job queue data is lost.

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

Reprint your Job

IMPORTANT

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