在很多情况下，了解从某台计算机打印的内容很有用。您可以找到您要打印的所有内容，并且您还将知道如何查看您已经打印的内容——无论是最近的还是很久以前的。
您还可以检查是否有其他人在未经您许可的情况下从您的计算机进行打印。
如何访问您的打印队列
查看打印队列可让您查看要打印的文档。如果您认为自己不小心将错误的文件发送到打印队列，这会派上用场。
如果您确实将错误的文件发送到您的打印列表，您最终会浪费时间、墨水和纸张。解决方案？检查您的打印队列是否 100% 确定。
- 首先，按Windows按钮并搜索打印机和扫描仪(Printers & scanners)。一旦它出现，启动它。
- 然后选择您的打印机名称。单击(Click)它以打开其下方的菜单。然后选择打开队列(Open queue)。
- 单击Open queue后，将弹出一个窗口。在那里，您将看到将要通过打印机的列表。您还可以查看最近的打印作业。
打印队列为您提供有关队列中的文档所需的所有信息。这包括文档名称、状态(Document Name, Status)和大小(Size)。
如何查看您最近的打印历史(Print History)
即使您的打印机队列允许您查看打印作业，它也仅限于最近的文档。如果您想要所有最近打印的文档的完整日志，那么您就不走运了。您不能指望打印机的队列。
但幸运的是，有一个解决方法。您可以求助于事件管理器(Event Manager)，而不是去您的打印机队列。
- 首先，按Windows键，搜索Run，然后启动应用程序。
- 输入eventvwr.msc。然后单击确定(OK)。这样做将确认操作并运行任务。
这将授予对事件查看器(Event Viewer)的访问权限。该程序允许您（以及您计算机的所有管理员和用户）访问远程计算机上的事件日志。
虽然使用Run很容易，但还有另一种选择。即直接从开始菜单启动事件查看器。(Event Viewer )
- 按(Press)Windows键，搜索程序，然后按 Enter。
- 在那里，选择Applications and Services Logs。
- 接下来是选择Microsoft。然后使用Windows。
- 展开Windows后，您将显示许多项目。幸运的是，这个列表是按字母顺序排列的，因此很容易找到。所以向下滚动到“P”并找到PrintService。然后选择此选项。
- 选择操作(Operational)。右键单击它，然后从选择中选择Properties。
- 在那里，转到常规(General )选项卡。查找启用日志记录(Enable logging)。旁边是一个允许记录相关信息的框。
- 完成后，单击Apply。然后点击OK保存更改并关闭窗口。
从此时起，您将拥有未来打印作业的记录。
您可以随时查看此记录。(Anytime)
- 要查看它的实际效果，只需启动PrintService文件夹。右键单击它并选择Open Saved Log。
- 打开它后，您将看到启用日志记录时的日志列表。或者您可以启动Event Viewer并选择Open Saved Log。
如何检查您的打印历史
使您的系统能够记录未来的打印作业是一项有用的功能。但是，如果您想回顾从一开始(the beginning of time)就已经打印的内容怎么办？
如果您使用的是Windows 10，则不会有问题。只需按照这些简单的步骤。
- 首先，点击Windows按钮并启动打印机和扫描仪(Printers & scanners)。
- 在那里，向下滚动到相关设置(Related settings)部分。接下来，您需要启动Print server properties。
- 在此选项卡上，您可以检查您的假脱机文件夹(spool folder)。您还应该选中显示以下内容的框：显示本地打印机(Show informational notifications for local printers)的信息通知和显示网络打印机的信息通知。(Show informational notifications for network printers.)
- 要保存更改，请单击应用(Apply)。现在，选择OK。
How To Check Your Printed Documents History On Windows 10
There will be many instances when it is useful to know what has been printed from a сertain compυter. Yоu can find out eνerything that you’re about to print and you will also know how to view what уou’ve already prіnted — whether it was rеcent or a long time ago.
You can also check to see if anyone else has been printing from your computer without your permission.
How To Access Your Print Queue
Viewing your print queue allows you to see the document that you’re about to print. This comes in handy if you think you’ve accidentally sent the wrong file to your print queue.
If you did send the wrong file to your printing list, you will end up wasting time, ink, and paper. The solution? Check your print queue to be 100% certain.
- First, press the Windows button and search for Printers & scanners. Once it shows up, launch this.
- Now find the list of printing devices.
- Then select the name of your printer. Click on it to open a menu just under it. Then choose Open queue.
- Once you click Open queue, a window will pop up. There, you will see a list of what’s about to go through your printer. You will also get to view a recent print job.
The print queue provides you with all the information that you need regarding the documents that are and were on your queue. This includes the Document Name, Status, and Size.
How To View Your Recent Print History
Even though your printer’s queue lets you view print jobs, it’s limited to recent documents. If you want a complete log of all recently printed documents, you’re out of luck. You can’t count on your printer’s queue for this.
But luckily, there’s a workaround. Instead of going to your printer’s queue, you can turn to the Event Manager.
- First, press the Windows key, search for Run, then launch the app.
- Type in eventvwr.msc. Then click OK. Doing this will confirm the action and run the task.
This grants access to the Event Viewer. This program allows you (and all the administrators and users of your computer) to access event logs on a remote machine.
While using Run is easy, there is an alternative. That is to launch Event Viewer directly from the start menu.
- Press the Windows key, search for the program, and press enter.
- There, select Applications and Services Logs.
- Next up is to select Microsoft. Then go with Windows.
- Once you expand Windows, you will reveal lots of items. Fortunately, this list is alphabetical and therefore makes the hunt easy. So scroll down to ‘P’ and find PrintService. Then select this option.
- Choose Operational. Right-click on it and from the selection, go with Properties.
- There, go to the General tab. Look for Enable logging. Beside it is a box for that allows relevant information to be recorded.
- Once you’re done, click Apply. Then hit OK to save the changes and close the window.
From this point on, you will have a record of future print jobs.
Anytime you want, you can view this record.
- To see it in action, simply launch the PrintService folder. Right-click on it and select Open Saved Log.
- Once you open this, you will see a list of logs from the moment you enabled logging. Or you can just launch Event Viewer and select Open Saved Log.
How To Check Your Printing History
Enabling your system to record future printing jobs is one useful function. But what if you want to look back on what you have already printed since the beginning of time?
If you’re on Windows 10, it’s not going to be a problem. Just follow these simple steps.
- First, hit the Windows button and launch Printers & scanners.
- There, scroll down to the Related settings section. Next, you need to fire up Print server properties.
- From there, select the Advanced tab.
- On this tab, you can check your spool folder. You should also check the boxes that say the following: Show informational notifications for local printers and Show informational notifications for network printers.
- To save the changes, click Apply. Now, select OK.
- To make sure all the changes you applied take effect, restart your computer.
