Is it possible to print the Buyers listing after you purchase the item? If so, please explain how. FYI - I usually do this 'before' a purchase but I forgot to do so this time.

As I indicated, listings should be available for ninety days from the time of purchase in most cases, unless the listing has been removed for a policy violation. Use the link to the item from your Purchase History. If the item title is not an active link, the listing has expired or has been removed.
If the listing has changed since your purchase, there should be a link to the listing as it appeared at the time of your purchase if you are using a desktop browser.

If the listing has ended less than ninety days ago, go to the listing page and you should be able to print it from there. If the listing has changed, there should be a link to the original listing if you are using a desktop browser.
Try printing using Control-P or the link to the system dialog if the print menu or print icon option is not responsive. If you are using Microsoft Edge, try using Control-Shift-P to print.
Otherwise go to your Purchase History page and use the print order details link for a receipt of your transaction.

Possibly I wasn't clear in what I'm looking for. I have purchased the item in question. I now would like a copy/pdf of the listing page with all its details as it looked "before" I purchased the item. The only thing I can now get are "Order" details which do not show the listing page with all its details as it looked before I purchased the item. It appears that eBay deletes or makes inaccessible to the Buyer (me) the original listing page with all details once an item is sold.
I'd like to know if there is any way a Buyer can get a copy/pdf of a listing page with all its details "after" he makes the purchase? So far, it appears not.

If it was a single-item listing you are taken either to a short-form Completed Listing Page where you click on the link to "See original listing":
OR you are taken to a page where there is an active listing for something similar (or as similar as a bot thinks is similar enough that you might want to buy it) where there is a box at the top showing the item you are actually looking for: you click on the photo of your item to get to the original listing. (I couldn't find one like that easily, it just seems to come up when the bots feel like it should).
For a multiple-item listing that has been revised since you committed to buy some quantity, there should be a link in the more actions menu of its entry in your Purchase History to the listing as it was when you committed to buy. If not you can bring up the active listing or orginal listing as of when it ended (as above) and look for a link to all the revisions that were made to the listing while it was active (I think it is either above the Description and Shipping and Payments tabs or towards the top of the Description tab; if it's not somewhere on the page that means there were no revisions), the linked page gives the section that was revised (unfortunately not the exact wording of the changes) and when it was revised (to see whether it was before or after you bid, made a Best Offer, accepted a seller's offer or counteroffer, committed to buy at the BIN price or actually paid the BIN price if you hadn't previously committed to buy).
