Is there any way of finding out the contents of print outs from a user id.. Today some confidential information has been printed by an unidentified user and was sent to an outside company.. While i have the details of only the file names printed by users stored in my event logs, I dont think this is of much use as an intelligent user can always type some info in an existing document and then print it and delete it.
So i want to know if we can see the contents of documents printed along with user id so that we can catch the culprit. Pls help,

If you had security logging enabled you may be able to find which user was involved. If not enable it now, review security policies.

i already enabled security logging enabled.. But how to find out the contents printed by users.. Only the name of the file appears.. The user can always type an info in an existing file, print it and delete it.. In such case even if i open the i dont find anything new. Right!

Event logging will only record events, not capture data. If you want to capture data you need additional security applications.
