I can print as usual from any other programme on my computer. its only Quickbooks that has a problem.


Thanks for your prompt reply, @neil35. A private window is an alternative browser that doesn't store cache and cookies. 

 

As an insight, QuickBooks Online uses cache to make the loading experience faster. However, it may cause some unusual behavior when it's full. 

 

To use a private window, open a regular browser. Then, press these following shortcut keys and log in to your QBO account:

 

  • Press Ctrl Shift (Google Chrome)
  • Ctrl Shift (Firefox)
  • Control Option (Safari)

 

Once signed in, print your invoice again as you normally do. If it works, let's do some troubleshooting on your default browser by start clearing its cache and cookies. This will restore the system and eliminate older data that causes performance issues. 

 

However, if the issue persists, I'd recommend using other supported browsers.

 

For future reference, you can run and print reports in QuickBooks Online to monitor your income and expenses accordingly. 

 

I'd be delighted to help some more if you have any other concerns or follow-up questions. Take care!

Hello Niel35, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

Yes that is how it opens up for you to then print it off the invoice.

No... I used to only have to click to the print preview page and then click print and then print again.

Now I have to click on a printer icon on the new tab and then press print and I also now have to mouse click out of that tab instead of just pressing the esc button.

Hello Neil, could you advise if you use an Apple or Windows pc and also which browser you are using, we have replicated the steps and we get to the print preview page and then click print icon and then print again in the pop up for the printer. We want to look into what could be causing the this chnage
