    Usually, yes. Most windows and linux based print servers will log the file in the event viewer. A copy of the file printed might be recoverable in the print spool folder of the windows server, containing the content of the file, username, date/time, the filename and ip of the printing computer.

    Also the printer itself may keep a log. And your own computer.

    Drop a crate of beer/Whiskey/Vodka off outside your local BOFH's office door and you should* be ok.......
