QBO no longer asks if I want to mark an invoice as printed after I print it.

QBO no longer asks if I want to mark an invoice as printed after I print it.

The other thing I noticed is that If I hit print under the ACTION column in invoices, it automatically wants to download a PDF; it doesn't give me the option to choose any other printers.

If I go into the invoice or choose multiple invoice and batch print, I have other printer options.

Still, it never asks if I want to mark them as printed, which is an important function for me.

What can I do?

Thanks for sharing your concern with us, @shawnAnderson.

 

Let's make sure that the Print later is marked when creating the invoice. Doing this will help make sure that it triggers the "Do you want to mark invoice as printed?" pop-up message. 

 

If it's already marked and you're still getting the same issue, you can perform some basic troubleshooting steps to fix it. This way, you can get back to your business. Let me show you how. 

 

First, log in to QuickBooks Online using a private window. This is a special mode that doesn't record the browsing activities on your computer. You can access this by pressing the following keyboard shortcut keys:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

Once done, print your invoice again. If you're able to see the pop-up message again, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. You can also use a different supported browser to print your invoices and view this pop-up. 

 

In addition, you can update your Adobe Reader/Acrobat to its latest version or repair your Adobe installation to resolve your printing issue. 

 

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know by posting below. Have a great weekend.

I've checked our records and haven't seen any open cases the same as yours, Eda82.

  4. Click I still need a human.
  5. Select Contact us.

"Print later" is checked.

I don't use Adobe at all. 

Everything used to work then suddenly a week or two ago it just stopped prompting me.

I now have to change the table using ODBC to mark it as printed but I'd like it to just do it automatically.

Since the issue persists after following the steps shared by my colleague ReymondO in this thread, I highly suggest contacting our Phone Support team. They have tools such as screen-sharing (remote access) that can pull up your account in a secure environment and check this odd behavior. They can also perform other troubleshooting steps to fix this for you.

 

To reach them, you can check out the steps shared by my other colleague Kristine or refer to this article: QuickBooks Online Support.
