Check Printing Alignment Issue

  • December 29, 2022

We recently migrated to quickbooks online advanced from quickbooks desktop 2021 accountant edition. We have had issues with getting our check alignment working like it did with the desktop , where details in the stub section are being cutout and if we adjust to fit the stub section for the voucher the top is off and vice versa.

 

The checks are brought from quickbooks so they arent the issue. Right now our end user has to manually redo the checks alignment in Adobe for every check which takes up time and can be prone to human error. When we do the fine tune alignment the sample it prints looks fine , we save the alignment but when we go to print the check and do a preview and print we see the details in the stub missing words. Also changed the printer settings to the quickbooks recommended settings and also tried a few things with support who have been no help in getting a resolution and redirect me to either give feedback which i have and post in the community.

I appreciate the steps you've done to resolve the printing issue, jhhadmin.

 

Let's ensure that the Adobe reader is updated to the latest release. This can be the reason why you're experiencing printing issues. If it's updated, let's repair the Adobe reader. Here's how:

 

  1. Close Acrobat/Reader and all open web browser windows.
  2. Select the Start button at the bottom left of your screen.
  3. Type Control Panel, then press Enter.
  4. Select Programs and Features.
  5. Select Acrobat or Adobe Reader, then Uninstall/Change.
  6. In the Setup dialog box, select Next.
  7. Select Repair, then Next.
  8. Select Install.
  9. When the process is complete, select Finish.
  10. Restart your computer.

 

Once done, print the checks again.

 

You can also take a look at this article for some tips on resolving printing issues: Test sequence for PDF printing issues.

 

I've also added this link as your guide in printing checks: Create and record checks.

 

Just post a Reply if you need my help printing checks.

I did that even reinstalled the entire adobe reader and that did not make any change to what i was seeing.

Thanks for the laughs.  

 

There appears to be no way to correct the alignment problem.  I thought it was just me.

 

The new security features of the QB 2022 are welcome but, otherwise, the prior package was better.

I was convinced by a sales rep that QBO would be WAY better for us than QB Desktop so we made the plunge and converted everything over only to find that we CAN'T PRINT CHECKS.  That seems like a huge upgrade right?!?!  The best part is they new this was a problem but did't say anything!

I am having this same issues - spoke to help twice and they cant seem to help me.  I have wasted atleast 20 checks trying to align the checks and have them print correctly. I should NOT have to align checks every time I need to print them.  This only started happening recently .   I align them and ALL looks good with the test - and I put the checks in and they are TOTALLY out of alignment.   Someone was calling me back today at 12 noon - and guess what , THEY HAVE NOT because they dont know what is wrong.  They told me to only use google chrome, then they cleared my cookies and cache - ALL of which did NOTHING.

Come on intuit - DO BETTER.  I pay a lot of money each month and I should not have this issue.  I have resorted to handwriting checks!!!  Someone please reach out to me to help get this fixed!


I'm currently having the same issue.  I have followed all the troubleshooting steps, nothing works.  The preview within QB of the check after the alignment issue still shows the original placement.  It's not an issue with anything other than Quickbooks.  I would prefer not to have to hand write all of our checks!
