The "Reprint" / "Print again" feature

This article covers how Reprint works and why the action may not be available for a job or printer.

What is the reprint feature?

Reprint lets you print the same file again, whether it came from Your Files, the print queue, or a finished print queue item.

You can access Reprint in several places:

• When a print is finished, in the "Print removed?" / Clear Bed popup. If the print is eligible, a Reprint button appears between Cancel and Clear. For a queued item, the popup also shows the resulting [item count] / [total]. Reprint can exceed the queue item's total quantity, so check the count before continuing.
• On the Print History page, open the "..." menu for an eligible job and select a printer. You can also download the file here.
• On the Job View page after opening a job from Print History, when the account has more than one printer. You can also download the file here.
• On a SimplyPrint Display Screen, using Restart when the job and printer are eligible.

When is a job reprintable?

A job must still have an available file, and you must have permission to reprint files. Reprinting a job started by someone else also requires permission to reprint other users' jobs.

File availability depends on how the print was started:

• Queued jobs: while a job remains in the print queue with a quantity above 0, its file remains available. Once no copies remain to start, the queue item moves to Done jobs. It is removed after at least 3 days, but never while its final copy is still printing. Periodic cleanup may make it remain slightly longer.
• User files (Your Files): the job remains reprintable while its source file still exists and you have access to it. Deleting the file also removes Reprint availability from jobs that use it.
• One-off, unsaved prints: the file remains available during the print and for 3 days after the print finishes.

AutoPrint printers

When AutoPrint is enabled on a printer, jobs associated with that printer cannot be reprinted, and the printer cannot be selected as a Reprint target. This applies to Reprint in Clear Bed, Print History and Job View, and Restart on SimplyPrint Display Screens.

To print an AutoPrint queue item again, use the print queue instead. By default, failed or cancelled queued copies are returned to the queue automatically. This depends on the account's queue failure recovery setting. If a copy is not returned automatically, use Re-queue from Print History or Job View while the original queue item or file is still available.
