Quickbooks Tool Hub

I'm working with a new laptop with Windows 11 loaded.  I am having trouble printing so I downloaded the "latest" Quickbooks Tool Hub via the link provided.  When it runs, it notes "several files are missing".   When I tried again, I noted the script was referring to "Windows 10".  Is it possible that the most recent version of QB Tool Hub is not set to Windows 11, and therefore failing to fix my install problem?

Hi, DanstheMan1963. Yes, it is possible that the QuickBooks Tool Hub you downloaded may not be fully compatible with Windows 11 if it is still referring to Windows 10 in its script. The software tool needs to be updated to be compatible with newer operating system versions.

 

To resolve this issue immediately, I have here a repair tool to QuickBooks Desktop(QBDT)  for Windows.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Exit QuickBooks first.
  2. Download the latest version (1.6.0.8) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Be sure to save the file in a location that's easily accessible, such as your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop. If you have previously installed the Tool Hub, you can check your current version by selecting the Home tab and viewing the version information at the bottom.
  3. Run the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the instructions presented on your screen to complete the installation, and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Once the installation is complete, open the tool hub by double-clicking its icon on your Windows desktop.

 

For more information on how to use the repair tool for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows, please consult the following article: Repair your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

 

If the issue persists, i recommend uninstall and reinstall your QBDT, to fix this issue.

To resolve the PDF issue, search at the bottom of your Windows 11 screen for "run." Then open the "Run App" that came up under your search and type "optionalfeatures" into the Run App. A "Windows Features" window then opens and scrolls down to "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" and checks the box next to it. then pressed "OK". You should be able to start creating PDF Invoices again.

You need to reinstall your QB program and reactivate your license.

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

Could you clarify what you mean by your printer not connecting? Are you not seeing your printer in the drop-down list when you try to connect it to QuickBooks, or are you encountering an error message when you attempt to print? Any additional details you can provide will help me find the best solution for you.  

In the meantime, you can find the latest version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub in this guide: Download the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
