Doc Size for Reports in QuickBooks Desktop

I can walk you through fixing printing issues within the system, PPalmer.

Do you get the same outcome when you save the report as PDF first and then print it afterward? To start troubleshooting, you can update QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release to get the recent features and fixes. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Select the Update Now tab. 
3. Click the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
4. Select Get Updates to start the download.
5. When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks and when prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Print the report again and be sure that that printing preferences and settings are correct like the paper size, scale, and margins.

If you get the same thing, you can use this link on how to troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

Keep me posted on how this works. I'll be around to help. Take care!

I followed your directions, but it did not fix the problem. QB has the page size as 25.80 x 36.11 in the report screen before printing. There's nothing I can change in the print function to convert it to a 8.5 x 11.0 size.

I'm here to ensure you're able to adjust the report's format size, PPalmer.

The size may change depending on the printer's settings. We can go to the Printer Setup tab to check and make some changes if needed.

Here's how:

1. Go to the File menu and then choose Printer Setup.
2. Select Report in the Form Name drop-down menu.
3. Click the Options tab and check your report's paper size. Then, modify it based on your desired size.
4. You can also click Advanced.
5. Then, select Letter from the Paper Size
6. Click OK to confirm the actions made, and then click OK again to save the changes.

You can also use our QuickBooks Tool Hub file to fix common printing issues.

Additionally, I recommend memorizing your reports in QuickBooks. This helps you save the current customized settings. 

I suggest getting back on this thread if you'll need assistance managing reports. I'm always here to back you up.

I had already tried the file / printer setting option. This appeared to be a program glitch vs a setting issue.

The Tool Hub did fix the glitch.

Thank you!
