Question

Printing a payroll summary report

  • January 3, 2019

I am trying to print a "Payroll Summary by Employee" report in QuickBooks online.  I can see the whole report on my computer screen.  It is landscape layout of 4 pages.  I cannot print all 4 pages.  The print function says "Print: page one", with no option to change that.  I can only get the first of four pages.  How can I print this whole report?

    Pleased to have you here, @bielowicz3.

     

    I’d be delighted to help ensure you’re able to print your payroll reports successfully.

     

    When printing reports in landscape orientation, make sure to select All pages in the Print Preview page. Please refer to the screenshot below:

     

     If the error persists, let’s apply the following troubleshooting steps to ensure that this is not browser related.

    • Access and print your payroll reports using an incognito or private browser. Kindly use either of the following shortcut keys:
      • Google Chrome, press CTRL  + Shift + N
      • Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL  + Shift + P
      • Internet Explorer: press CTRL  + Shift + P
      • Safari: press Command + Shift + N
    • If you’re able to print successfully all the pages of your reports, clear the cache of your regular web browsers.
    • You can also use the Browser Health Checkup Tool to check any issues with your browser’s health and its compatibility with QuickBooks Online.

    I'm having the same printing issue (only printing Page 1) in the QBO desktop app.  Of course I can download it to Excel, but then I have to resize columns and rows, etc., which takes extra time.  It would be a lot more convenient if Intuit would just fix the issue.  The report QBO produces looks great and would work beautifully if only we could print it.

      Hi there, Becky_BR.

       

      Thanks for joining this thread. Allow me to help and provide some insights about printing a Payroll Summary by Employee report in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

       

      We currently have an ongoing issue when printing Payroll Summary by Employee report and our engineers are already investigating and working for an immediate fix. 

       

      As a workaround, you can resize the columns and rows by exporting the report through excel so you can print the complete information. I also recommend calling our QuickBooks Online Support Team so they can add you to our notification list of affected users to receive live email updates about this issue.

       

      Here's how you can contact our phone support: 

      1. Go to: Get help with QuickBooks Online.
      2. Click the contact us link. 
      3. Select the Search for something else, and type-in Customer Support. 
      4. Click Search.
      5. Scroll-down and click Get Phone Number. 

      For additional reference, you can check this article on how to export QuickBooks Online reports to Excel. 

       

      We appreciate your patience as we work through this. Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help.

      Thank you for the response.  

      I think we should be able to print the reports without having to do the extra work of exporting/screenshots, etc...

      I am having the same issue.  My report should be about 6 pages wide but it only prints to pdf the first page and the exporting to excel is an ugly report. Any fixes on this issue?

      Thanks for looping in, @IraGal.


      Have you tried the troubleshooting solutions shared by my colleagues to print the report? If so, and continue to get the same result, I highly recommend giving our Customer Care Team a call for assistance in creating a ticket.


      They have tools capable of pulling up your account in a secure environment, which we are unable to do so here in the Community for security reasons. This will also provide engineers the data needed to look for the root cause, so they can apply a permanent fix to the printing issue.


      Please follow these steps to contact support: 

      1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
      2. Click Help (?) at the top right.
      3. Select Contact Us to connect with a live support agent.

      Check out the article Print a payroll report for reference.


      Let me know how this goes and if you have additional questions. I’m more than happy to help. Have a good one!

      The best I've been able to do with Print to PDF is set print preferences, page size, to tabloid, apply & print - not good enough, but better than over a year of nothing from Intuit QB. 

      This is too easy & basic of a function to not get absolutely right. 

      Tomorrow morning I'm researching other bookkeeping software.

      Any suggestions?

      I found a workaround that made the printout work for my situation. 

       

      On the Chrome print screen dialog box, under More Settings there is a Scale section that lets you adjust the % of scale on the page.  By backing this off until everything fits on the page, you can at least get all the data on the report - assuming your columns are not so voluminous as to be too small to read. Setting the margins to none and layout to landscape also helps.

      Hello, @Miker2.

       

      As I've checked from our records, the investigation (INV-41374) was still open and our engineers are still currently working to get a resolution as quickly as possible. At this time, we can try following the workarounds from this thread so you can print the report seamlessly.

       

      Also, I encourage reaching out to our Support Team so you'll be added to the list of affected users and automatically receive an email notification with the latest updates. To contact support, tap on Contact us from the Help menu.
