Voucher checks default printing is double sided. How do I permanently correct this so it does not print on the back of the voucher checks?

Deleting double sided printing when printing voucher checks.
Best answer by IntuitBrooks
QuickBooks calls the printer driver, which tells Apple's print dialog what to display.  Double sided is a function of the printer driver.  Unselect it in the print dialog. Normally these settings stick for future use so once unchecked it should stay unchecked.

Sounds like a printer setting.

When you select print, the screen brings up the print menu for you to verify the check number, etc. and the default box is check for printing on both sides. This is in QuickBooks and not a printer option.

This might help if, like me, you are running QB in Windows in a Parallels Virtual machine:
Start the Windows virtual machine and go to the top menu bar, click on Actions--> Configure--> Hardware--> Share Printer--> please enable the " Show page setup before printing"

    This was EXACTLY what I needed. Must've been an update on Parallels...boy! You never know when they are going to shoot you in the foot!

    I agree. There is no double side printing from within QB Mac.

    We are having the same issue but have a unique set up.

    We have a Physical Windows Server and are connecting via a VPN via our Macbooks.

    Apple and Windows states they don’t support this and our IT person who configured all this is stumped.

     

    It shows in the printer configuration that it's set to not print 2 sided but when I select the printer - it doesn't give option to even select 1 or 2 sided.

    Good evening, @MicheleTheRanch. 

     

    Thanks for chiming in on this thread. Let me point you in the right direction to get this handled. 

     

    Since Apple, Windows, and your IT person don't know what the best solution is for you, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team to get this taken care of. They'll be able to use a screen share tool to see why this may be occurring. Here's how: 

     

    1. Go to the Help menu. 
    2. Press the QuickBooks Desktop Help option. 
    3. Click the Contact Us button/hyperlink. 
    4. Enter your question and hit Let's talk. 
    5. Scroll down and pick to Get a callback. 

     

    It's that easy! 

     

    Keep us updated on how it goes. We're always here to have your back. Wishing you and your business continued success!
