I'm not trying to print the bill itself. After receiving an invoice from a vendor, I need to print a check so I can send it to the vendor. When I had my desktop QB, I would "enter bill" and then "pay bill," and "print." Is there a way to do this with my new online version?
I can see the relevance of printing a bill in QuickBooks Online. Currently, this option is unavailable.
In the meantime, you can screenshot the bill and print it afterward. Otherwise, you can generate a Transaction List by Vendor. Then, customize it to show the bill, and click the Print icon to have a paper copy.
Here's how:
Proceed to the Reports menu on the left panel.
In the Search field, type in Transaction List by Vendor.
Click the Customize button.
Choose the correct date of the bill.
Under Filter, click the box next to Transaction Type and select Bill.
Once done, click Run report.
Lastly, select the Print icon.
Additionally, I'll share these tools to help you manage your bills in QBO. It includes steps on how to pay and email the transaction:

This response makes no sense. QB is certainly not "only for recording purposes." Not even sure what that means. It is a general accounting system. Printing a bill is useful functionality that should be available. Why are bills different from other forms, like an invoice? There are several types of forms that can't be printed and it doesn't make sense and seems like it would be fairly easy to enable printing.
Maybe instead of changing the dashboard and "look and feel" yet again you could spend a bit of time actually making the software more useful.
When will a print function be available? Or if never, please advise so that we can plan alternatives.
Without the ability to print the bills to a PDF, we cannot use QB online.....else we'd have to create another unconnected system/manual process to render a bill form.'
I tried converting to QB online several years ago and the lack of a print functions stopped us then as well.....sadly, the lack of a print function was discovered after Intuit gave us a free conversion which took over a week for one of their contractors to complete.
It's been years that this issue is outstanding. So I suspect the answer is you will never do it....Can you let me know please.
We appreciate your idea about the bill printing feature, @don11_2. I can see you're waiting for this as it will surely benefit everyone.
Since this is currently unavailable, you'll want to consider pulling up Transaction List by Vendor report to get the data you need. For the complete steps, follow my colleague's suggestions above.
I also recommend sending feedback request to our product development team. They will evaluate these to include in future updates. Please know we're also unable to give a timeline as to when this will be available.

Please prioritize this missing feature to print a bill. It is important for many businesses to be able to print any form that is in QuickBooks. Why is it so difficult?
I definitely don't understand why they don't have this either. We want to print our bills to our accountants but for whatever reason, they don't have this function to allow to simply print a bill or batch print. You could print Expense, but not Bill. Doesn't make alot of sense
We hear your suggestions and recognize your need for the feature, @j2yau.
I recommend sending this feedback to our Product Team for them to review, and they might want to implement it in future product updates. Please take note that it still depends on the number of requests we receive from the customers.
