Hello,

is there anyway i can retrieve the record of the last printouts i have made using my home printer?

I dont think this is possible. AFAIK the printer spooler, which holds this data, gets erased from memory after the project has completed. It is only stored in the RAM not the HDD so therefor i think a recovery is not possible.

It is a unfortunate truth about printers. They store all thier info into the spooler which is deleted once the task is complete. I have searched my system for anything that could be a ol spooler log or something like that and have turned up nothing.
