Techniques for printed document identification allow a user to more readily identify a printed document. The techniques may include receiving document data for printing a document and accessing information to identify the document for printing. Document data may relate to printed document properties, such as, for example, document appearance and document content. The document data and the accessed identifying information may be formatted to appropriately meet the requirements of the printer. Formatting the document data and the accessed identifying information for printing may include formatting a page for printing such that the page includes at least a portion of the document data and the accessed identifying information, and the accessed identifying information is between document margins and printer allowable margins.
