Let me guide you on how you can fix your printing issue, 

 

There are several reasons why you encounter issues when printing payroll forms in QuickBooks Desktop. Before you start printing, make sure you meet the following criteria:

 

  • You update QuickBooks to the latest release.
  • Your computer is connected to the printer.
  • You have the latest printer driver installed.
  • There are no error messages or warning lights on your printer.

Once done,  ensure you can print from any program. To do so, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Select Start and browse to Notepad.
  2. Enter some text and go to File, then select Print.
  3. Select the correct printer and select Print.

If it's not printing, use these steps to test your printer setup:

 

  1. Turn off the printer, restart your computer, and then turn the printer back on.
  2. Make sure you load the printer paper correctly.
  3. Select Start, select Control Panel, then double-click Printers and Faxes.
  4. If the printer shows Offline, right-click the printer and select Use Printer Online.
  5. Double-click the printer and if there are print jobs displayed in the queue, select Printer, then Cancel All Documents.
  6. Close the window.
  7. Right-click the printer, select Properties, and then select Print Test Page. If the printer is a network printer and the test page doesn't print, network issues could be the cause.
