When you print something does it save it in a folder so I can pull it up and see what has been printed on my printer? If so where is it located?
 
As far as my knowledge goes, I don't think that your printer will save any history, unless some program came with your printer that had that feature.
Sorry. :(
 
I seen on some forensics crime show where some guy mailed a bomb and they pulled the address off his computers printer file because the guy used his printer to print the address label. He deleted all his history but they said he forgot to delete his printer history, thats why I was wondering (NOT MAILING A BOMB) lol but I do print alot of personal documents that I dont want to leave on my PC!
 
For the majority of us a printed file is sent to the Print Spool directory, this is a temporary holding directory and once printed it's contents are automatically deleted.

There are programs out there that will take over from the standard spooling directory and archive print jobs. One is:
