Corruption in printing checks Desktop for Mac 2022

Hello DiMed,

 

Let's get your printer issue taken care of so you can get back to printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Before we proceed, ensure your QBDT is updated to the latest version

 

In your situation, I suggest you download and install the QuickBooks Tool Hub to resolve your printing issues. You can refer to this article for the steps: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub

 

Open this article for more information about printing checks in QBDT: Create, modify, and print checks. It also includes troubleshooting steps at the bottom of the page. 

 

Tag me in the comments below if you have other questions about printing in QBDT. I'll be sure to get back to you.

Let’s get rid of this corruption so you can print checks in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, @DiMed.


You can use the Verify and Rebuild Data tools to fix data issues like missing information or any corruption in your company file. Before that, make sure to backup your company file. Then, follow these steps:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks account.
  2. Navigate to the File menu, then click Utilities.
  3. Click Verify Data, then select Rebuild Now once QuickBooks finds an issue with your company file.


You can also reset your printing system to resolve this. Simply go to your File menu and Printer setup. Then, reset your printer settings.


Here are some ways to rectify common printing issues in the program: Troubleshoot printing in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.


In case you want to add an electronic signature to your checks and manage recurring transactions in the future, you can use these resources for complete instructions:

 


If you have any other concerns or questions besides printing checks, please don’t hold back to leave a message below. I’d be glad to provide you further assistance. Take care always!

There is no Printer Setup option in the File menu in QB for Mac 2022. How else can I delete the Quickbooks print settings? I believe it is corrupt. My data is not corrupt— it verifies ok. It is only having the error half the time and only when printing checks in Quickbooks.

I'll chime in on the thread to assist you further, @DiMed.

 

Let me ensure that you'll be able to print your check as quickly as possible in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac.

 

To do so, please check out the following items:

 

  • Spooling: Please ensure that spooling is activated (Apple menu > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.)
  • Resolution/Print Quality: To print more quickly at the expense of print quality, the resolution must be decreased. (If you decide to speed up printing using this method, print a test page to ensure the quality is acceptable.)
  • Number of fonts: If there are too many fonts present, a form may occasionally print slowly. Customize QuickBooks forms' fonts to use just one or two fonts for faster printing. Search the in-product Help for fonts for details on customizing fonts.
  • Font Settings: Bitmap fonts typically require more time to create and print. To disable QuickBooks' bitmap fonts option:
  1. Go to the QuickBooks File menu and click Printer Setup.
  2. Click the Options button next to the printer window.
  3. On the Finishing tab, click the Details button.
  4. Under Font Settings, clear the Send True Type as Bitmaps checkbox.
  5. Click OK, click OK again in the Properties window, and the Printer setup window.
  • Dithering: Dithering can often be turned off to speed up printing. For information on modifying your dithering choices, refer to the documentation that came with your printer.

 

Please take note that we're unable to offer support for certain printer problems due to the complexity and variety of available printers. 

 

If you need further help altering printer settings, please refer to the documentation that came with your printer or get in touch with the technical support for your printer manufacturer.

 

Keep me posted if you need further assistance with printing checks. I want to ensure that you get back to business seamlessly in QuickBooks. Stay safe!

Again, I do not have an option for File Menu, Printer Options.  Printer Options does not exist.  I also have no spooling settings for my printer.  I am using an Epson ET-4760 Series and connecting via AirPrint.  Can someone who know the Mac program please help?
