Is there a way to print mailing labels with quickbooks on line, with the desk top version.

Hi there, mswafford,

Let me share the good news. 

You're able to create and print mailing labels in QuickBooks Online. I've added this article that details the step-by-step process on how you can accomplish your goal:

Yes, I've been asking this question for almost 2 years now. I've been told it was being worked on but I still can't find a way to do it.

Hello everyone.

Thanks for joining this thread. I appreciate you for clarifying your concern.

As mentioned by my colleague @MichelleT, you can create and print shipping labels in QuickBooks Online (QBO) through the mail merge feature of MS Word. First, let's export the report to MS Excel. Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Reports.
2. In the Search field at the upper right, choose a report.
3. On the upper right, select Customize, then Rows/Columns.
4. Select Change columns.
5. Mark Full Name and any applicable address information you need, then Run Report.
6. Select the Export icon.
7.  click Export to Excel.

Then, we can edit the MS Excel file.

Here's how:

1. Open the Excel file.
2. Delete all header rows from the spreadsheet. Make sure not to delete the column headings.
3. Delete any extra leading columns to the left of the Full Name column.
4. Make sure both Full Name and Billing Address are populated with data for each customer.
5. Go to the File tab, then Save As.

Once done, you can now create a mail merge template in MS Word.Check Microsoft Office's website for detailed instructions. For your reference, please check out this article: How to create a mailing list using the mail merge feature of MS Word.

Don't hesitate to drop by again if you have more questions about shipping labels in QBO. I'd be glad to answer them for you.

So, the answer is no. You have to export customer data to Word.

Aloha, 

Does quickbooks have a printer that is available and a system that is compatible with an apple computer such as my Mac Book Air?

Hello there, Sara.

QuickBooks Online (QBO) allows you to use any printer as long as your browser supports printing forms or templates. And allow me to help you configure your printer settings in a way that works best for your business.

Whenever you press Print in QBO, the software prepares the information for printing and hands it over to your internet browser to pass on to the physical printer. This means that QBO plays no role in deciding the default device for all printing tasks.

QBO uses the printer settings in your computer and browser. 

Here's how:

1. Open Control Panel. 
2. Go to Printers and Faxes.
3. Right-click on a printer and then select Set as Default Printer.
4. Close the Printer and Faxes window. 

After setting up, all installed browsers will use that printer when printing documents and forms in QuickBooks Online.

To set your printer setting in a different web browser, please check out this article: Resolve Printing Orientation Issue in Chrome.

If you're having an issue in printing, you can read through these articles for your future reference:

• Fix QuickBooks Online Printing Issues on Browsers.
• How to Troubleshoot Printing Problems in Safari.

Please know you can always come to the Community for all of your QuickBooks needs. I'll keep an eye out on your response.

It seems like the QB staff are not understanding the question.
I watched a video on YT that showed "print shipping label" in the drop down menu of the invoices, but that option is no where to be found in my menu.

Thanks for joining this thread, BungalowGlow.

The Shipping Label menu is currently available in all desktop versions. If you’re unable to see this option, let's download the latest QuickBooks release.

This can help eliminate known issues you encounter using the old version and improve the software’s overall performance. Let’s go to the Update QuickBooks Desktop window to perform this process.

1. In your company file, go to the Help menu to select the Update QuickBooks Desktop option.
2. Once the window opens, choose the Update Now tab to mark the box for Reset Update.
3. Hit the Get Updates menu to download the release and click OK to continue.
   

Once completed, close and reopen QuickBooks for the changes to take effect. Next, go back to the Invoice page and click the Print icon to select the Shipping label menu.

If you continue to get the same result, repairing an existing QuickBooks installation helps resolve errors you run into while using the software. Before proceeding, create a copy of the company file to avoid accidental loss.

Then, go to your computer to repair QuickBooks. Here's how:

1. On your keyboard, press the Start button to select Control Panel.
2. Hit the Programs and Features link to choose QuickBooks.
   
3. After selecting it, click Uninstall or change a program.
4. In the QuickBooks installation window, click Next and select the Repair radio button.
   
5. Click Finish.

Your installation of QuickBooks should now be repaired. However, if you’re using the online version, I suggest following the resolution provided by @Charies_M.

This is another feature where QuickBooks online is a failure. Printing Mailing labels is a common task with a customer list. When we had Desktop it was so easy to print mailing labels for all customers directly from QuickBooks.

For now, some features in QuickBooks Desktop are unavailable in QuickBooks Online, @BethFL.

Our engineers are continually working on improving the software to make it work the way your business needs. In the meantime, you can use the steps provided by my colleague @Charies_M. As a workaround for printing mailing labels in QBO, you can create a mail merge template using the MS word feature.

As we assess this opportunity, I encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Online Blog to stay current with our news and updates.

Please know that our doors are always open to help you with any QuickBooks-related concern.

This is no good.  I am fed up with this garbage. Get the shipping manager up and running on QBO. Not tomorrow, TODAY! The suggestion to use MS is absolutely idiotic. 

This is not helpful at all.   My desk top version had a very simple print label and check the vendor or customer and send to printer and that was the end of it.

Who has time to export and then send them to a printer.   I only do this when doing a mail merge document.   

HEY INTUIT - mailing labels seems like a no brainer - please add it to your reports
