I work in an office. I share my printer through Windows file/printer sharing. Someone is printing junk on my printer. Is there a log file that shows who printed through my computer?

I only want to identify the user. Setting up passwords for the printer is not necessary to prevent future junk printing.

Just Open Print Manager, you can see who's job it is.
If it is gone too fast, put a job in the printer and pause it.

If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, expect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.
