Tomboy is an unknown quantity at this point
@RadiationBoy,

I am pretty sure that (for most modern printers) the print queue holds only a binary data stream representing a graphical presentation of the document. Converting that data stream back into a real document would be a major challenge. Some exceptions might be if you have a very old printer that only prints text, then that might be recoverable, or if you printed to a postscript printer, there are ways to translate PS to something else useful. Alternatively, you could hook up the correct printer and try printing it. Otherwise, I wouldn't hold out much hope for getting it back.
