Hi,
I've created a group list which i use to create estimates. However the items don't show on the estimate when printed. I did mark the option that the items in the group should be printed but so far nothing has changed. does anybody have a solution for that
Solved! Go to Solution.
If the group is marked to print and you add it to a new estimate or invoice or sales receipt or credit memo (any sales form) then it should print. That's not working for you?
Hello there, malky.
There a possible reasons why the items are not showing when printing them in the estimates. It could be that there is a problem connecting to your currently selected printer, or the device is not ready.

RE: I did mark the option that the items in the group should be printed but so far nothing has changed.
When you change the print details setting, nothing will change on existing transactions, where that settings was copied and is now part of the transactions.
The current setting will be applied to any new transactions you create.
If you really want to impact your existing estimate, delete the group from the estimate and re-enter it.

After restarting my quickbooks it's working now.
Thanks for all the help
Is there a way to get all of the line items (from the group) to print for internal use only? I want the invoice to show just the description and total fee(s) when sending to a customer.
But I need to print the estimate for my technicians so they see not only the scope of work but each item and quantity they need to prep and load into their vehicles.
Please advise
