1099 NEC printer alignment problem

Let me share some information on what to do when QuickBooks crashes, @JS12345.

May I know if you're getting a specific error code or message when your company files crash? Any information you can supply will assist us in narrowing down our options.

There are a few possible reasons for the unexpected behavior or performance issues with QuickBooks Desktop.

Here are some:

• QuickBooks is not updated.
• The program does not meet the minimum system requirements.
• Damaged or missing QBWUSER.INI file.
• Corruption on your hard drive.
• Damaged program files or QuickBooks Desktop installation.
• Damaged Windows operating system.
   

To get around this, let's use the QuickBooks Diagnostic Tool to find and solve the problem automatically.

Here's how:

• Download the  QuickBooks Install DiagnosticTool.
• Save the file to your local Desktop.
• Close any open programs and run the QBInstall Tool.
• Reboot the computer after running the tool to ensure the components are updated.
   

Once done, try printing 1099 forms again and see if it works this time. However, if you're getting the same issue, I'd recommend following the remaining solution in this article: QuickBooks Desktop won't open, has stopped working, or not responding.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions.  I tried running the Diagnostic tool and restarting my computer, but the problem is still there.  I get an Unrecoverable Error message (I've sent in a few reports) and the code at the bottom is 17773 33155.  I don't really want to mail out 1099's that are printed so messily, so I hope we can fix this. 

Thanks

Also, I can print a sample Check or Bill Payment Stub no problem, it only crashes when I try to print a Sample 1099

I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you've tried to get rid of the issue, @JS12345.

A QuickBooks unrecoverable error occurs when you're trying to open QuickBooks Desktop or while working on it. Let's try another troubleshooting step to get rid of these errors and get back to work. Ensure to create a backup of your company file before proceeding with the process.

Solution 1:Identify how many users are affected by using different login credentials to open the same company file. If the error only happens in one specific user, that user login credentials might be damaged. Recreate the damaged user. Please note that if there are no other users that can access your company file, we can proceed to solution 2.

Solution 2: Suppress your QuickBooks Desktop

1. Press and hold the Ctrl key.

2. Double-click your QuickBooks program icon.

3. Hold the Ctrl key until the No Company Open window shows.

4. Select the desired company file from the No Company Open window.

5. Press and hold the Alt key, then select Open.

6. If you are prompted for your log-in information, release the Alt key, then enter your user name and password.

7. Important: If you are not prompted for your user name and password, do not release the Alt key.

8. Press and hold the Alt key, then select OK. Do not release the Alt key until your file is completely open.

9. Note: QuickBooks will display a blank screen. If you can highlight a QuickBooks menu by just hovering your pointer to it, your company file is completely open.

If the problem continues, please check out the unrecoverable Error: General Troubleshooting Steps for additional solutions to fix the errors.

I'm also adding this unrecoverable error in QuickBooks Desktop for additional reference and guide.
