Printing Register Reports 2008

Just upgraded to Quicken 2008 deluxe and after trying to create a PDF from a register report, I now have corrupted printing of Register Reports. The printer works fine in all other programs. Anyone else with the problem????

I don't know what you did exactly. I searched the help for print register report, then followed the outline there (sort of). I could not find register report in the options under the reports in the toolbar so I made a transaction report choosing a range of dates. Then printed to a pdf file using the Quicken pdf printer. File was generated, and opened fine in Acrobat Standard 8.0.

You need to describe your steps and results in more detail.

Click "Report" in the menu bar in a non-investment account register.

My Q2008 Premier, R7 register PDF report worked as designed.

[I believe at one time (maybe Q2007), there were a problem with PDF files and a separate problem with reports NOT generated from the Quicken "Reports" menu option. But I thought those problems had been corrected. I do notice that clicking "File > Print Transactions" with a non-investment account register open, shows a blank "Preview" when I try to use my old workaround, "CutePDF Writer" (workaround for problems with Quicken's PDF writer); but CutePDF works for the "register report".]

Ahh, there it is. Too many "flippin" toolbars and menus and whatever. That works also, but indeed a pdf report is what you want to do unless you enjoy printing a 100 pages or so on paper (if you didn't adjust date range or another range).

Thanks all for your help. It was operator error. I didn't notice that the printer properties page had 'color' as a default setting. I print

99% of my stuff with a printer file that forces Black and White. Quicken trying to send color instructions to a B&W print driver confused the hell out of it.

Thanks again
