Wonder if anyone else has run into the problem of the Address Book not printing envelopes? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Address Book not printing

I'm not able to print envelopes with H&B 2007. Google this newsgroup to find some discussion of this problem back in March. It seems to be a known problem but no solution so far.
Same problem here that started about a month ago. Sent a trouble ticket to intuit but only got the canned normal printing troubleshooting answer. The dialog box that used to pop-up for selecting the printer never appears but something is happening in the backgroud... just goes right back to the address list. Love the software 2007 H+B but the support they give give it useless.
Right -- that's what happens to me. Dialog box never appears.
can you print other stuff (besides envelopes) in quicken 2007? I myself cannot. And, I followed the canned instructions from intuit re printing -- including uninstalling quicken and all of the printer drivers, then reinstalling -- and nothing helped. I can print just fine from all of my other applications. Frank
Just FYI, I'm running 2007 Q H&B and have no printing problems. If I can help you troubleshoot in any way, please let me know.
I don't think I had Q2007 the last time this issue came up here, but I have it now ... though I'm really not sure how much, if any, light I can shed..
I don't have a printer available to the machine where I have Q2007 installed, so I can't say what I would see if I tried to send an envelope to a printer. But I don't have any problem printing an envelope to a pdf file. Q2007 Premier, R5.
One thing I think you should try is to create a New Quicken file, enter a name and address, and try to print an envelope. Perhaps something in your address book is corrupted.
Nuts. I meant to add that I have other printer drivers installed, and even when one of those "real" printers is my "default" Quicken printer, I still get that second dialog box when I elect to print an envelope. The dialog box that allows me to select another printer ... the one you're not getting.
Also, just out of curiosity: what happens if you uncheck the box to "Print Return Address"? See if possibly the return address is corrupted.
I print invoices every day from my 2007 H&B version without any problems. I can't remember the last time I tried to print any reports so I don't know if that works or not.
John, thanks for the suggestions.
I tried the new file, but have the same problem. Also tried unchecking the return address -- no improvement.
It's just envelopes that are failing -- I can do a print list fine and have no trouble printing invoices (thank goodness!)
FWIW, my Quicken folder contains the following file: printenv.exe 50 KB 5/7/2007 2:17 PM Does that match yours?
Yes, that matches the one on my system.
What happens if you double click on your copy? When I try this with mine, I get the hour glass for a moment and then nothing -- not that different from what happens when I try to print an envelope within Quicken.
I get the "Quicken Print Envelopes" window with the message: "Failed to create empty document" I click OK, and the window closes.
We might be on to something.
Do you want a copy of my file to try? If so, send your email address to snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
