I appreciate you getting back to us, @grace39. Allow me to step in and outline the steps to access Adobe Acrobat Reader so you can align vendor checks in QuickBooks Online (QBO) when printing.
If the sample print didn't align with the blank check, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat for Standard and Voucher checks. Since QBO uses a default browser when previewing, save the vendor check as a PDF before opening it with Adobe Acrobat Reader. To do that:
When prompted to choose Adobe Acrobat Reader as your default PDF application, select Yes and follow the on-screen instructions.
Before printing, go through the print setup to ensure your printer and checks line up. You can use your own checks to print, but they must be set up for QBO. You may also directly purchase QuickBooks-compatible checks from Intuit.
Let me know in the comments below whenever you have additional questions concerning printing checks in QBO. I'm always willing to lend you a hand anytime. Take care, and have a great rest of the day!

Also, I'd recommend performing some basic browser troubleshooting steps. The high volume of temporary internet files inside your browser can affect your experience using QuickBooks in that specific web browser. To begin, access your company file in an incognito or private browser. You can use the following shortcut keys to access a private browser:
Once you're in, try to print checks. If it works and you're able to get through, you can proceed to clear your browser's cache. Refer to this article for the steps: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online.
You can also use other compatible browsers if the issue persists. Refer to this article to see the list of compatible browsers in QuickBooks Online: Other browsers.

I am trying to print Vendor checks.
When I go to print a vendor check I do not see an option to print via Adobe Acrobat. Can you please explain to me why I was instructed to download Adobe Acrobat. Maybe that will help me to understand how to align the text to my QB checks. Thanks

Thank you for the response. I can help you with printing your vendor checks, @grace39.
An Adobe Reader is required for printing both Standard and Voucher checks. You'll just have to download it and set it as your default PDF viewer. You can get the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader for free. Then, set it as your browser’s default PDF viewer. For detailed guidance, go to Step 2 in the following article: Configure your print settings for printing checks in QuickBooks Online.
Once done, follow the steps below on how to print them:

Still not aligning. I have read every link that has been sent to me. Can someone please explain how I can access the Adobe Acrobat Printer Dialogue Box in QB when I go to print Vendor Checks. Maybe if I can print from Adobe Acrobat my checks will align. Thank You
