Before you start troubleshooting :

We will suggest you to check the following steps before you start troubleshooting.

• You need to ensure QuickBooks is updated to the latest release.
• It is required that your computer should be connected to the printer and that the printer software is installed.
• You can also check for specific printing error messages; you may search the QuickBooks Support site for the exact error.

Step 1: You should check your printer

 If you want to know that your printer can print outside of QuickBooks, use Notepad.

1. Click & select start and browse to Notepad.
2. You can enter some text and choose File, then Print.
3. You need to select the correct printer and select Print.

Step 2: If that didn’t work, try…

In case, if that print test didn’t work, follow these steps. If it did work, go directly to Step3.

1. You need to turn off the printer, then restart your computer machine, and then turn the printer back on.
2. You need to make sure the printer paper is loaded correctly.
3. Click & select the Windows Start button, you need to browse to the Control Panel, and then double-click Printers and Faxes.

Note: In case, if the printer is a network printer and the test page does not print, network issues could be the cause of your error.

Still, if it is not working? Try this…

1. You need to ensure that you have the latest printer drivers for your printer. Go to the manufacturer’s web site to download and install the most current drivers.
2. You need to ensure that there are no error lights displayed on the printer itself.
3. Refer to the printer manufacturer’s documentation for any of the following:
   • The printer displays error indications.
   • The printer will not print the test page.
   • The printer doesn’t print from Notepad.

Step 3: If that did work, do this…

Use the QuickBooks Tool Hub

In case, if you are able to print in Notepad, use the Print & PDF Repair Tool from the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This can fix most of the common printing issues.

If it is done, try to print again.

You can rename the file

In case, if the tool is not working you can manually rename the QBPrint.QBP file.

1. You can Locate the QBPrint.qbp.

• Windows 10, 8.1, and 8: C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks 20xx
  (20xx represents the version of your QuickBooks.)
• Server 2008 and Server 2012: C:\Program Data\Intuit\QuickBooks YEAR and C:\Users\**remote user**\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\ YEAR VERSION\TSPrinterSettings
  Note: In case, if terminal Service users report finding duplicate copies of the Qbprint.qbp file with the stored client data files; then double-check all folders for odd instances.

Tip: You might need to Display hidden files and folders or search for files using Windows to find these files in Windows.

1. You need to click on the Right of the QBprint.qbp file for your QuickBooks version and click & select Rename.

   Note: You don’t have to do this for every transaction.
6. You can try to open and print any transaction.

Step 4: In case, if none of the above works verify if your printer attached to your machine is the correct one
