I'm trying to print standard 3-checks-on-a-page checks on an HP LaserJet printer. The alignment aids QB provides only adjusts the horiz & vert alignment on a single check, but not the space between checks. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks
nope. buy from an approved supplied next time.
Speaking of alignment, I just did my payroll end-of-year. I got the portrait format P14/P60 forms from the Inland Revenue, and got all the latest QB software updates and applied them. The alignment of the data with the forms was pretty awful - stuff that was supposed to be 'hidden' by the hashed-out areas on the form was clearly visible, and so on. If I adjusted it to place one bit correctly, something else would be out of place. This was using QB2004 R9, and a recent-model HP laser printer, on W2000 Pro with an up to date printer driver.
Either the IR altered the layout of the forms 'slightly' after the QB update was issued, or Intuit just got the alignment wrong, I guess.
I did - approved by my bank ...

Your BANK does not produce QuickBooks, so they are hardly in a position to approve forms for use with QB.
You want to support Intuit, go ahead. My question was one of curiosity, I've been using standard, and inexpensive, checks with QB for 5 years. It would save me a slight bit of trouble if I could make the adjustment I originally enquired about, but no big deal ...
One other thought. Have you tested your printer to see if it is printing correctly. In other words is an inch really an inch when it prints? Do up a grid of lines exactly one inch apart horizontal and vertical. Print it out and drop a ruler on it. Is it square? Are the lines exactly one inch apart? If not get your printer in for adjustment.
I don't support Intuit -- at least not by buying expensive forms from them. BUT, when I purchase my forms, I make sure the vendor states they will work with QB.
If that is the case, if you purchased forms that you were told would work with your software, then your recourse is to call the printer and request replacements. If, as you say, you were sucessful in using outsource forms for 5 years, it may very well be an error in this lot from the printer. It
*is* possible that your forms were mis-printed.As for adjustments to "the space between checks", as you yourself noted, QB does not provide for that. I know of no way to tweak QB or your printer in order to accomplish that.
