Print Icon Missing from Dock

My printer icon no longer appears in the dock when I am printing – how do I add it back?

Command P initiates the print dialog (?)

If it launches the printer see it in the right side of the Dock (Recently Used)—Control Click >Options> "keep in Dock"

or Drag your printer it from your Applications folder to the Dock

The dynamic printer icon in the Dock only remains as long as the print operation requires to send it to the printer's buffer. If it is a one or two page print job, the print icon may not last long enough in the Dock for you to detect it.
