Can my parents see what I printed on the home network?

I have a lot of confidential documents to print at home. They are saved in my personal vault, but I am going to be printing them on the home network, which my dad is the administrator of, and I don't have admin access. My laptop, his computer, and everyone's mobiles are the only devices on the network. Will he be able to open and read my documents once I print them, or are they only available while they're printing? We have an Epson 2840 printer, and I'm running Windows 10. I have tried googling to find the answer, but I keep getting results for office networks, no matter how I phrase the question.

    Hi ,  

    Good day! My name is Vishal . I am an Independent Advisor of Microsoft and a Windows expert . I am glad to be able to provide assistance for you today.

    Here are some suggestion or tips for you to get enhance security in your document:

    1- Your documents do not store on home network when you print from your Laptop.

    2- Your dad does not have access to the content of documents which are printed on network. Print jobs are encrypted over the network and they should not be accessible to other network users after printing

    3- Always use encryption and password for your documents.

    I hope it helps. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Regards,

    Vishal

    Hi Vishal,

    Thank you for your detailed and helpful reply. So basically he can't see anything I'm printing, other than the titles? That's awesome. Thank you so much.
