P: Finding images that have been printed

I am looking to create a smart collection for all images that I have printed via Lightroom.

Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to do this unless you manually keyword the image or manually add the image to a collection.

Images printed in Lightroom have a tag in their History that indicates that they have been printed and the date and time, but this isnt searchable.

Making this searchable would allow smart collections to be easily built, would this be possible?

Hi,

I would like to request a filter in the lightroom library module that enables filtering for photographs that I have previously printed, or exported in a certain format. I am finding myself going through some old photo folders in the catalogue and selecting images for printing. Occasionally I realise I already have a print of a particular photo which I have forgotten about. Being able to filter for previously printed photoraphs would be a great way to avoid this problem...

Many Thanks

Frank

Unfortunately, there isn't any way to do that using built-in LR features. But the Any Filter plugin can do it:
