A printer and method that allows the user to store print jobs indefinitely in the printer's disk drive or other data storage device. The printer stores a document and prints one or more copies of the document from an electronic transmission of a single copy of the document accompanied by a command indicating the desired disposition of the document. The printer includes a user interface, a controller that includes a data storage device, and a print engine connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the user interface and the controller is configured to receive the electronic transmission of data representing a document to be printed and the desired disposition of the document and, in response to the transmission, to cause the printer to (a) print the document at least once and store the document in the storage device, (b) store the document in the storage device and hold it there until released for printing via the user interface, or (c) copy the document to the storage device and hold it there until the document is released for printing by inputting a predefined privacy code.
