Essential Solutions to Terminate the “QuickBooks Printer Setup Not Opening” Issue

We have curated a list of tried and tested solutions that can help you eliminate the QB Desktop printer setup not opening issue. After you have fulfilled the prerequisites for resolving QuickBooks printing issues, you can undertake the following effective solutions –

Solution 1: Try Printing from Another Program

Firstly, you need to check whether you can print from a program other than QuickBooks. This will help analyze whether the issues are with the printer setup or with the QB program. For this, undertake the following steps by using Notepad –

• Tap the Windows Start icon and choose Notepad, then enter some text in the Notepad.
• Go to the File menu, choose Print, select the correct printer’s name, and then hit Print again.

Solution 2: Check the Printer’s Setup

Since you were unable to print from another program, the issues might reside in the printer’s setup. Hence, you need to verify the setup by following these steps –

Step 1: Ensure the Correct Printer Setup

Firstly, perform the following steps to ensure that the printer is correctly set.

• Disable the printer, restart your computer, and then power the printer back on.
• Ensure proper loading of printer paper, then click Start and navigate to the Control Panel.
• Double-click Printers and Faxes, and if the printer displays as Offline, right-click the printer and choose Use Printer Online.
• Double-click the printer, and if any print jobs are in the queue, go to Printer, then Cancel All Documents.
• Close the window, then right-click the printer and choose Properties.
• Select Print Test Page, and if the printer is a network printer and the test page fails to print, there might be some network problems.

Once the printer is correctly set, move to the next step to ensure that the right printer is selected.

Step 2: Confirm the Correct Printer

You need to make sure that the printer is the right one; otherwise, you will need to correct the printer setup on your PC. This can help resolve the “set default printer in quickbooks desktop” issue.

• In QuickBooks, access the File menu and choose Printer Setup.
• Tap the form you intend to print and confirm that the printer name precisely matches the intended printer’s name on your PC.
• If the name doesn’t match, you need to adjust the setup in your computer’s Printer Setup in the following manner –

For Windows OS –

• Select Settings from the Windows Start menu and go to Bluetooth and Devices.
• Select Printers and Scanners, then select a printer that matches the name and click Set as Default.
• If the Set as default option is not visible, it’s possible that the Let Windows manage my default printer option is selected. You’ll need to unselect this option before you can manually choose a default printer.

To enable the default to be the printer you last used:

• Open Start, click Settings, then select Bluetooth & devices and go to the Printers & scanners section.
• In Printers & scanners, toggle on the option next to Let Windows manage my default printer and confirm that it displays as On.

This will reset the default printer on Windows, which can help with the printing problems in QB.

For Mac –

If you’re using QuickBooks for Mac, you can adjust the printer setup on the PC to resolve the mismatch problems in the following manner –

• Choose the Apple menu on Mac and select System Settings, then click Printers and Scanners.
• In the Printers & Scanners dialog, where the Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax button is visible, click the Default Printer menu.
• Choose the option that matches the name while printing in QuickBooks, and hit OK.

Note: If you wish for a specific printer to always be the default printer, select that printer. The default printer doesn’t modify it even if you print to a different printer.

Note: If you prefer the default printer to be the one you last printed to, choose Last Printer Used. Your Mac retains the information about the last printer used in your current network location, such as at home or at work.

Alternate ways to set the default printer in Mac –

• For a swift selection of a default printer, Control-click on a printer in the Printers list within the Printers & Scanners settings, and then choose Set Default Printer from the shortcut menu.
• You can also efficiently set a default printer using Print Center in the Utilities folder. When the Print Center is open, choose the printer in the sidebar, and then go to Printer > Make Default.

If you are facing issues and need further assistance with the printer settings, select Help in this area.

Step 3: Test with a Different Printer

Lastly, try printing with a different printer, like a Microsoft XP printer.

• In QuickBooks, go to File, then hit Printer Setup.

• Choose the form you wish to print, then Select a different printer, such as the Microsoft XP printer.

For additional help with these settings, select Help in this area.

Once you have set the printer settings correctly, the printing problems in QB will be resolved. If they are not, you can try the next troubleshooting solution.

Solution 3: Verify the Data Integrity in QuickBooks Company File

If you were able to print with another program in Solution 1, you need to review your QuickBooks data integrity to ensure that the “QuickBooks no printer installed” error is fixed.

You can check your company file for damage through the following steps:

• If you originally printed a batch of forms in QuickBooks, attempt to print a single form. If successful, consider printing smaller batches.
• Access one of the QuickBooks sample company files and try printing the same form or report.

If you are able to print with the sample file, your QB company file might be damaged. To resolve this issue, you can employ the following actions –

Action 1 – Run the Verify/Rebuild Data Tool in QB

The Verify and Rebuild Data feature on your company file can address data damage and corruption that might lead to printing issues.

• Navigate to File in QB, then tap Utilities and click Rebuild Data.

• Click Utilities, hit Verify Data, and let the utility examine your file for any data issues.

• If QuickBooks identifies no problems, click OK to indicate that your company file is data damage-free.
• If QuickBooks sees an issue with your company file, run the Rebuild Data tool in the following manner –

  • Rerun the Verify Data tool from the Utilities section to check for additional damage, and if none is found, restore the backup.
  • If damage is found, you might need support assistance in fixing the extensive data damage.

Now, check if the company files are running correctly, and if issues persist, use the QB File Doctor Tool to fix the damage in the next section.

Action 2 – Utilize the QuickBooks File Doctor Utility

If the QB Verify/Rebuild Data tool was unable to rectify the damage, you can utilize the QuickBooks Tool Hub.

• The first step is to install the QuickBooks Tool Hub with these steps –

• Once the tool hub is installed, run the Quick Fix My File tool in the following way –
  • From the tool hub, select Company File Issues, then locate & select Quick Fix my File.
  • Select OK, and when the tool stops running, launch your QuickBooks to check if the damage is fixed.
• If the damage isn’t fixed with the Quick Fix My File tool, the last step is to use QB File Doctor –

• Select Check your file (middle option only), hit Continue, and enter your QuickBooks admin credentials.
• Select Next and let the scan process take its time, which can be up to 15 minutes.
