printer logs?

[Mayfriday0529]

Is there a way to find out on windows when was the last time the printer printed a page?
I just notice a paper on top of my laser printer with a single smily face in one corner, i dont remember printing it?

I'm the only one who uses the my computer but it is on my home network with wireless with WEP turn on and the SID is changed also, could i have been hacked or have a hole?

thats why i wanted to know when it was printed?

Odds are nobody printed it.

It's not uncommon at all, you're reading WAY too much into it.

AFAIK, no, unless you have printer logging software installed.

Here are examples:
PrintUsage Pro 1.3
CyberPrinter

your printer probably doesnt have a log... but i'd be willing to be your router keeps a log - which would let you know who's accessed your network and what IP's it has assigned out lately. So if somebody had gotten on to your system, your router would know about it.


however, i'd bet it was just a pritner error -- they act funny sometimes. Ours here at work always prints out random garbage after a while.

I had a printer once at work which I thought was playing poker. Every so often it would spit out a page with a spade, heart, diamond and some other sybmols up in the corner.
