How to extract the data inside the print queue to txt file or any other format

Issue

This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by light

most of the time I manually save the data (like date printed, copies count, file name… etc.) needed to calculate cost or save the information.
but the data is already there in the printer queue.

**so basically, I want to save data from the printing queue like the date, name of file, copies printed and other useful data in a separate file. maybe in a text file or something. **

so, I can just copy it in my app that I save these data on automatically once I print a document.

my System details: windows 11, my printer is: HP Page Wide Pro MFP 477DW and I only know python, I don’t know any other language for now as am in high school
*Thank you in advance, and sorry if that is the wrong channel for this, I couldn’t figure which is a better fit.
