Group Items

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.

We can perform some basic trouble troubleshooting steps to sort this out: First, you'll need to close your QBDT and download our QuickBooks Tool Hub file. Once done, proceed following the steps below to complete the process:

1. Open the downloaded file.
2. Follow the onscreen steps to install the program.
3. Double click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

If the same thing happens, you can proceed following the Solution 2,3, and 4. For more details and make sure you won't miss a single step, you can check this article steps: Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop. I've also added this article for additional reference: Resolve printing issues.

Lastly, you use these guide for additional tips when using an estimate  and the usual A/R workflow in QuickBooks Desktop:
 

• Create an estimate in QuickBooks Desktop. 
• Get started with customer transaction workflows. 

Don't hesitate to comment below if you have other questions with QuickBooks Desktop. Take care and stay safe.

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.

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
