Answer

Sorry,

This printer does not store print history.

=============================================================

Comments / Additional Information

Relevant to Windows

For later...

IF you install the full driver printer software,

If you switch on the Windows setting to save print jobs sent to the printer,

Then -- until something interrupts the setup -- you can retrieve / reprint jobs .

Caveats

You have to adjust the setting before you want to use it.

Reinstalling (or losing) the printer software resets to "jobs not saved for reprint"

Basics - 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

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

Windows 11

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

Open Print Queue

OR

More devices and printers settings

Double-Click on Printer

Double-Click on See What's Printing

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

Reprint your Job

Windows 10 / Windows 11 "See what's printing"

Single-Left-Click on a job that you want to reprint to highlight that entry

Right-Click on the highlighted job > Restart

Windows 11 "Open Print Queue"

Left-Click on the job to be reprinted > Select Restart

IMPORTANT

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