Paycheck Alignment off 1 line in QB Desktop

Let me sort things out for you, @donaldhook.

Since you already updated the alignment settings, we can perform other troubleshooting steps to fix this. Before we start, ensure that QuickBooks is updated to the latest release. Check also your printer if it's connected to your computer. 

After you print test, you can do the following steps: 

1. Turn off the printer, restart your computer, and then turn the printer back on.
2. Ensure that the printer paper is loaded correctly.
3. Choose the Windows Start button, browse to the Control Panel, and double-click Printers and Faxes.
4. If the printer shows Offline, right-click the printer and select Use Printer Online.
5. Double-click the printer and if there are print jobs displayed in the queue, choose Printer, then Cancel All Documents.
6. Close the window.
7. Right-click the printer, choose Properties, and select Print Test Page.

If the printer is a network printer and the test page does not print, network issues could be the cause.

You can also use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to fix some common printing issues. 

For additional information, you can check this article on how to troubleshoot some problems when printing: Resolve printing issues.

You'll also want to print pay stubs in QuickBooks Desktop. Feel free to check this article: Print your employee's pay stubs.

Feel free to let me know how it goes. I'm here to help if you need clarification with the process. Have a great day.

Thanks Rubielyn...

I have had QB for several years and never had an issue.

Have restarted the laptop and printer several times to no avail.

Downloaded QB Tools Hub and reloaded the pdf drivers, to no avail

Modified the alignment settings ... -1 to -33 ... did not change anything

Was with support for an hour and a half yesterday ... they could not find anything

To me, it seems like a software update of some kind, but not sure which software.   Is not the OS or Adobe ...

Thanks for getting back to us, @donaldhook
