If you have a printer connected to your Mac, you can see the print jobs you currently have in the queue. And if you use a shared printer, this can be handy to confirm that you’ve sent your job to the printer and are still waiting your turn.

At the same time, you might want to see completed jobs. Again, with a shared printer, you may find that items you thought you printed are nowhere to be found. You can check to see if your item did, in fact, print successfully. You can then hunt down the coworker or family member who accidentally grabbed your printed items.

Here, we’ll show you how to view details of print jobs on your Mac, including currently printing jobs and completed jobs.
