Points to remember before troubleshooting the problem

You need to check the below given points before going to the troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Selecting the right printer

There are chances that the QuickBooks Desktop is connected to some other printer present in the office. So, in order to check whether or not it is connected to the right device and default printer setup is installed, follow the steps mentioned below:

• Firstly, open QuickBooks Desktop and then click on the ‘File menu‘ in the menu bar and select ‘Printer Setup’
• Verify the printer device and then select the right printer for all the particular Forms one at a time.

 

2. Check Is the Printer on a Network or local?

• Local, the problem may be on your computer. Validate there is a connection between the printer and computer.
• Network, validate network settings are set up correctly.

 

3. Checking the Printer’s connectivity

With QuickBooks, the printer can be connected to either a Network or on the local server. So, if the printer is on a Network, then validate the network settings and set them up in the correct manner.

 

Whereas, if the printer is set on a local server, then the cause of the problem is right in front of you which means that the connection between the computer and the printer is at fault.

 

Steps to Resolve QuickBooks Printing Problems

So, as we mentioned earlier, there are a number of ways using which you can fix the error of QuickBooks not printing the document. But, before we can get into that, you should first check whether or not the Print function or simply the printer is working outside QuickBooks. So, in order to test that, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

 

Step 1: Switch off the computer and printer, and restart both of them.

Step 2: Check for all the necessary items required for printing to be in their places such as paper and ink.

Step 3: Visit ‘Control Panel’ and double-click on ‘Printers and Faxes’, then do a right-click on ‘Printer’ option and select the ‘Use Printer Online’ option (If the printer is offline)

Step 4: Now, click the ‘Printer’ icon and select ‘Cancel All Documents’, after that simply close the window.

Step 5: Open the ‘Properties’ menu for Printer and click on the ‘Print Test Page’ option. (If the test page prints up, then follow the steps ahead, otherwise check the documentation provided by the manufacturer of the printer)

Step 6: Open ‘WordPad’, type some letters and then go to File > Print

 

Note: If all these works perfectly, then you can move on to the process of troubleshooting QuickBooks, otherwise, check the error with your printer’s manufacturer first.
