Invoice Format

QB Online changed the invoice print format so that my window envelopes are now useless. How do I go back to the prior format?

Invoice Format

Let’s take a look at your account and figure out what’s going on with your invoice layout, @flowesbywebster. I can definitely share the steps you need to print an invoice in QuickBooks Online.

 

Before we proceed, may I ask if you would like to print an invoice using the old layout display? If so, we can modify it by clicking the Old layout button in the upper-right corner of your invoice. Know that you won't be able to use the new layout if you make these changes.

This could also be a browser-related issue, as this can cause sudden changes in the format and other odd behavior in the program.  To fix this, use a private browser to access your QuickBooks account. This doesn't retain local files or cache so this is a good start.

 

Use these keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • For Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N

 

If this works, you’ll need to clear your browser’s cache and cookies to remove the history. This way, you can start with a clean slate. You can also switch to other browsers as alternatives.

 

Also, ensure to have an updated Adobe Reader/Acrobat. Printing problems in QuickBooks Online can be resolved by updating Adobe Reader/Acrobat: How to update, repair, or re-install Adobe Reader/Acrobat.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend checking your print settings. We proceed in this article to get additional solutions about the printing issues in QuickBooks Online (QBO): Fix QuickBooks Online printing issues on browsers for Windows
