How can I print 1099 on blank form?

Can I only use a pre-printed form to print 1099's?

I bought 2-up blank forms to print both 1099's and W-2's, as I only have 3 1099's and 7 w-2's to print.  All the forms or kits come in minimum 25 and the rest are tossed.

You can't. 

 

There is no IRS approved substitute form for filing, for which the IRS requires the special red-ink form.

 

While they do allow substitute 1099's printed on plain paper to be given to the employee, which could be used in conjunction with e-filing the 1099's with the IRS, Intuit really likes to sell forms.  So, they've never added such an option to QuickBooks.

I should have wrote vendor, not employee  (employees do not get 1099 forms.)

So I'm confused...can the 1096 and 1099A be printed on plain paper using laser jet printer or are these required to be printed on red forms?
