How to enable printer history on hp office  jet 4650

Welcome to the HP User Community.

The printer does not store its print history.

If running Windows on your computer / device,

The Windows print queue can be set to save jobs for reprinting later.

The Basics -

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

For those reading, the following applies to recent versions of Windows and a printer for which the Full Feature Software has been installed.

Windows 10 / Windows 11

Windows key > Search for and open Control Panel

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

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

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers 

Double-Click on your Printer

Double-Click on See What's Printing

If necessary, select the printer from your list (for example HP OfficeJet Pro 9025)

Once the queue is open, 

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

Right-Click on the highlighted job > Restart

NOTE

The job will print using the current paper / preferences as set for that printer.  If you need to adjust the paper or job parameters, double-click on the job to be printed to open the Properties (available options).  After adjusting the settings, click OK to exit the Properties menu.

IMPORTANT

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