Question

Vertical Printer Alignment for 1099's

QB needs to fix this in QB online. On a 1099 or W2 vertical or horizontal  fine line  alignment is critical -- as it's the difference between printing a 1099 or W2 that is readable.   In QB Desktop there is a setting to adjust the vertical or horizontal print small amounts up or down so they print properly in a form. .  But somebody at QB Online doesn't understand that and tells the user to refer to their printer instructions to align their printer if they need to do that.   Most regular printers don't do that.   Printer instructions include how to "align the print heads"  which sounds the same but is not how to adjust vertically or horizontally for the piece being printed -- that info belongs in the information coming from the device that includes the document that is printing.  As a result of not being able to adjust the print up or down or left or right slightly one of the lines on the forms I am printing will not be readable and there is nothing I can do about it.

Hi NikiPatt,

 

It isn't the kind of experience we want you to come across.

 

I can see that this idea would have a great impact on easily printing 1099. With that, I suggest sharing a proposal with our developer's team. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Under PROFILE, select Feedback.
  3. Enter a few words to describe your suggestion.
  4. Click Next.

 

Moreover, you can check this article in case you encounter issue when printing 1099: Have problems printing?

 

You can always post in the forum whenever you have concerns about managing 1099.
