How to prevent duplicate printing of checks?

I want to know more about your concern, Mae.

Are you referring to the payroll checks? Is this happening to multiple checks? What steps did you take so far?

Any information and screenshots you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Only on 1 checking account in quickbooks does this happen. Imprint my checks and then it always prints a second one after I'm done. 1 copy is selected so I do not know why it does this but it wastes a sheet of paper for every check i print. 

I've got the steps you can perform to prevent duplicate printing of your checks, @NAILDR. 

You're on the right track in selecting the "1 copy" option in the printer settings. The Adobe Reader/Acrobat may be outdated since it's the default program we use for opening, viewing, and printing PDF files. That's why the system prints duplicate checks for your particular checking account. 

To help fix this, I'd suggest updating the Adobe Reader/Acrobat to take advantage of its security and stability improvements. I'll guide you how. 

1. Launch the Adobe program. 
2. Select Help.
3. Choose Check for Updates.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Updater window to download and install the latest updates.

Once done, print the checks again to see if it works. If not, we can repair the Adobe Reader/Acrobat to resolve this. 

You'll also want to check your printer manual if there's a preference you need to change to stop the duplicate printing of checks. 

Also, I recommend visiting this resource hub if you're using Windows: Fix QBO Printing Issues On Browsers. It contains solutions to resolve each printing scenario in QBO. For Safari in Mac, use this article instead: Troubleshoot Printing Problems.

I am having the same problem.  I tried repairing and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat. Using a Canon ImageClass MF743cdw printer, Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2019.  Still prints 2 copies if printing a partial page of checks.

Hi there, @Berwyn. 

I appreciate you performing the steps provided above. 

When QuickBooks has printing issues, there are some setups that you need to check. These are the following:

• Ensure QuickBooks is updated to the latest release.
• Your computer is connected to the printer and that the printer software is installed.
• For specific printing error messages, you may search the QuickBooks Support site for the exact error.

Once verified, try to print a sample check. Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendor Center window.
2. Double-click on the vendor and the check to be printed.
3. Hit Print from the menu and click Check. 
4. Enter the Check number and click OK. 
5. From the settings let's make sure that we select the correct printer and type. 
6. Tap Standard as our Check Style and enter 1 in the Number of Check on first page. 
7. Let's go to the Partial Page tab and select how the check is inserted. 
8. Click Print once ready.
