When printing from QuickBooks, the Printer Setup window does not open

SOLVED•by QuickBooks•QuickBooks Desktop Payroll•5•Updated 1 year ago

After choosing File > Printer Setup, the Printer Setup window does not open. It appears as though QuickBooks is not functioning.

There can be several causes of this problem:

  • The Printer Setup window can be opening off-screen.
  • The Intuit internal printer is selected as the default printer.
  • The Qbprint.qbp file is damaged.
  • A QuickBooks application file is missing or damaged.

Assumptions

Your printer is installed, turned on, and plugged in to your computer.
