Question

Significant Delay When Printing from Quickbooks Desktop in Windows 11

  • April 3, 2024

Using Quickbooks 2021, latest version.

 

Brand new Dell Vostro 3430, i5, 16GB, 512GB SSD, Windows 11

 

Connected to a HP M283fdw via USB.

 

When printing something absurdly simple a SINGLE CHECK, there is a significant delay of many minutes between clicking the print button in Quickbooks and the printer actually printing.  This has been reproduced in an older, completely different version of Quickbooks also installed on the computer.  Printing from ALL other applications and sources is instantaneous.  The problem appears to be directly and totally limited to printing from Quickbooks.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found resolution?

Hello there, jpearls. You're experiencing delays when printing your files in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

I appreciate you updating your QuickBooks to the latest version, and checking the USB connection is fine. This will help me locate the exact error and provide you with a solution. 

 

There are multiple reasons you might have trouble printing from QuickBooks Desktop. Here are some keys to the most common issues.

 

  • 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.

 

Since you've already checked them, let's diagnose the issue, let me help you with how to run QuickBooks Tool Hub to aid the error running on your company file so you can print your transactions.

 

See the steps below: 

 

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Once done, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

 

Next, you can initiate or use QuickBooks PDF & printer Repair Tool.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select Program Problems.
  2. Select QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool. It will take about a minute to run.
  3. Print, email, or save as a PDF from QuickBooks Desktop again.
