How do I view past checks that have already been printed?

After following all the procedure I am unable to reprint a check that was firstly printed in 2017. 

Hi there, Zohan.

Thanks for getting back to us.  I'd be happy to assist you with reprinting checks in QuickBooks Online.

I want to make sure that I provide you the right resolution. May ask if you received an error message while reprinting the checks? For us to check if there's a related issue with the concern. If not, you can follow these steps to reprint the check with the correct year.

Here's how:

1. From the left menu, select Reports.
2. Look for  Check Detail report.
3. Select the correct date period from the drop-down.
4. From the report, select the check you'd like to print.
5. If you're printing a single check, select Print check.

For more details about the process, you can check out this article about printing a check: Print a check-in QuickBooks Online

Also, you can check out this article about reprinting checks and sales forms in QuickBooks Online for your reference: How to reprint checks and sales forms.

Tag me in the comments below if you have other questions about printing in QBO. I'll be sure to get back to you. 

too bad there isnt a button that you can click that will bring up your check register.

like there was one in the desktop version.

why make things hidden? this should be readily available to look at. not hidden in a search option

It isn't hidden, stupidusername.

QuickBooks is available in two versions: QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and QuickBooks Online (QBO). The QBDT platform is installed locally and has a vastly different function than the Online version which is cloud-based. 

The largest differences between the two platforms are found in their features. Some feature is in QuickBooks Desktop isn't available in QBO and this includes the button to open the check register. You can run the Check Detail report to see those printed checks and from there you can open the transaction to print it.

You can follow the steps provided by my colleague above to reprint the check or visit this article for more information: How to reprint checks and sales forms

Additionally, you may also customize your report to see only the data that matters to you.

Feel free to drop by anytime if you have other questions. We're always here to assist you.

The biggest difference is you took things that were simple to do and made them difficult to find or do within QBO.

Coming from the desktop version to the QBO version is a difficult process. Spending more time googling how to do things instead of doing them.

You get my point? To have to search for something indicates that its hidden. 
Why not make a button to press ONE TIME to access some of the basic things when running a business?

I want to see the checks that have been written. 

We're taking notes of your feedback and suggestion, @stupidusername.

I'm struggling with the same problems, this QBO is so difficult for me to navigate. I have spent 2 hours trying to find just the regular old check register and still no luck!!!! I really want to see if i can just go back to the old one, its killing me!!!!

Is the reports for the check details under time or somewhere else?

 Hey there, Eric1957. I know some steps that can help you find the Check Details Report in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

You can find the Check Details report within the Reports menu. Afterward, you can also customize it according to your preference. 

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Reports menu located at the left navigation panel under the Customer & Leads menu. 
2. In the search bar, type Check Detail, then click it.
3. (Optional) Click the Switch to Classic View. 
4. Scroll up, and you'll see the Report period dropdown. You can click it and choose the date that you'd want to see in your report. 

You can refer to this material to learn more about how to customize your report: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.
