Is it possible to see what I printed in the past? I don't need the entire document. All I need is the date of which I printed it.

Depends on the printer. Most line up print jobs, then delete the queue entry on job completion. Some few (notably the multi-tasking ones that print, copy and fax) have a little bit of native memory, and keep a log of doc's printed, calls made, etc.

What model printer do you have? I would google that model number, and search that OEM site, to see if your model keeps track.

Thanks. It's not my printer, so I don't remember at the moment. I'll tell you when I found out.

It's an HP Laserjet 1200 Series. Thanks again.
I'll try googling it too.

This is the user manual (http://www.cob.fsu.edu/tech/printermanuals/laserprinters/HP1200.pdf) for that printer.

Looks like you may be in luck. It refers to a print server, which, if set up, could provide you a log, and DIMM, which if installed indicates that the hardware may retain a copy or at least a log entry of jobs ordered, and jobs done.

Good luck, mate.

Maybe the Lords of the Kingdom of Peace and Love wanna move this to a more tech forum. :bow:
