Set the Print History Retention Policy

Retaining large amounts of print history can negatively impact storage space, especially if print volumes are high. The print history includes detailed information about all print jobs and individual printed items, including images of the printed items. To reduce storage requirements, reduce the amount of time print history data is retained, while continuing to meet any auditing requirements of your business.
