Documents history gallery

The project looks great.
I have one feature request that you can ignore but I think it will provide great value in certain cases.
Are you open to the idea of having a history gallery where you display not only the name but actual preview of the printed file.
If it is an image it is easily displayed. If it is a pdf you can easily embed it as an iframe. Not sure about docs and sheets but I believe they can also be embeded in some way. A quick Google search reviewed a few options.
This will make the re-print of the file super easy to first identify and then print again.

@ivandokov I can see the value, but I'm not really sure that feature would be widely used, not quite sure a lot of people re-print things often, especially in this environment where print requests are supposed to come from outside of your network, by potentially multiple users. on top of that your printer already has that feature (though I agree it's not very discoverable). but to me the complexity and memory usage outweigh the benefits.

if you really need that feel free to open a PR with a feature flag to toggle that on/off
if more people have the same issue I might look into that as well

My specific use case is reprinting coloring pages for my kid. It is a nightmare to find that one weird page it wants to color again 😆
When thinking in business environment I actually see one more benefit - I believe for example accounting/HR/etc can have oftenly printed blank documents that they can "favourite" in the gallery so they pop up on the top and be easily identifiable because of the preview.

I get your point and if you think this is too niche I'll understand.
Unfortunatelly I have no time to invest right now in a PR and it could be the case for you too so I understand.
