If the only thing you want to get rid of is them showing up in your reminder list:

Go into Company Preferences: Select Reminders tab on left: That shows a list of items you have the option to 'show summary', 'show list', and 'don't remind me'. I had 1,000+ sales orders to print in my reminder list that was making me crazy. I went into the list I just mentioned and clicked on 'don't remind me' for the sales orders. AND they're off my reminder list now!!! Yay!!!

Several years later and we still have the issue, but QB seems to be smarter now and knew that my printer was turned off. But it doesn't know that I took the paper out. So that is my workaround for clearing up things left behind from ghosts of the past. 

Hi,  I'm in the exact same boat at you and need to clear 3,960 very old sales receipts that our company clicked "print later".   A simple remove button would be so helpful QuickBooks!   I tried both suggestions of unplugging the printer and printing to PDF but they do not clear the reminder queue.   How did you print in batches of 500 without clicking every single one?   How can I just select 100 at a time to print?  Thank you! 

Hello, SAS Shelter.

I understand that if the remove button is available, it will be simpler for you to eliminate outdated sales receipt stock from the reminder queue. Currently, you can clear the print form list by sending them to your printer which is offline or not powered on. 

Furthermore, there isn't a way to print in batches without clicking or selecting the transaction. To avoid any problems, you must manually count each item by 100 after picking it.

Alternatively, you can toggle the reminder list to " Don't Remind Me" to refresh the reminder queue.

Here's how:

1. Go to Edit, then Preferences.
2. Click the Reminders menu.
3. Go to the Company Preferences tab.
4. Select the Don't Remind Me box.
5. Once done, hit OK.
6. Close and reopen QuickBooks.

Thank you, but it does not work just to send them to a printer that is not powered on or online because it crashes.  If the solution is to print 100 at a time,  are you suggesting that I need to "click" one-by-one in batches of 100,  for over 3,500 sales receipts??   There is no easy way to select 100 at a time?     I have already turned the reminder off,  but that's not the point.  I want them cleared from my system so that way I can keep track of which ones are new and actually need to be printed.     It seems like so many people are having this issue,  why would this not be a simple "ctnl +" to select 100 at a time  OR a simple remove button??   

Same issue, 3 different company files. Printing does not help. Printing to PDF does not help. Manually clearing the print later box does not help. Have run the qb tool hub print repair multiple times. Even tried printing them 1 at a time, the refuse to be cleared.

SOLVED!!!   I had the same problem and read through this thread finding nothing to help at all.  We had over 800 in print queue and couldn't get them to print and or go away.  We had the first invoice in there that was an inactive customer and had no invoice number.   Maybe that was the hold up originally so I just opened that invoice and unflagged to be printed.   The other invoices in there will print and clear out now but I can't do all 800 at once or it crashes.  Now it seems the problem is that there are too many in there.   Maybe this can help Quickbooks at least solve the problem?

- For 500 Invoices or fewer: Select ALL

- For 501 Invoices or more: Select NONE, then press CTRL + Left mouse button to quickly select a batch of 500 invoices.

3. Click ok and save what you selected as a PDF. 

4. Once done, make sure to uncheck "Print later" option when creating new invoices. 

I hope this helps.
