Welcome to the HP Community --
Use an App / Software program to add various field content entries to your print job.
Examples > Three methods to add Print Date to a file submitted to the printer
- Edit the original document to add the Field code(s) you want in the header / footer of your document.
Reminder: Field codes are not restricted to the header / footer areas.
- Manually add the text box to the file to be printed during print job configuration - HP Smart can do this for photo / image prints.
- Switch ON Header / Footer when printing from your browser
Example - Word - Insert Quick Parts - Page/NumPages - Author - Print Date
Example - Browser Print Settings

Another option is to use the watermark function of the driver to print the date and time on a document. If this is a document you did not create and cannot edit such as a locked PDF.

You are welcome.
Depending on the purpose, Word supports adding the (current) date / time to your document.
Use Insert > Text > Date & Time
The entry can be made to be kept updated when the document is opened or when the entry is clicked > Update
