Title: Can No Longer Print from Quicken
Post by: rjbinney on October 10, 2018, 12:32:42 PM

This may be really esoteric.

I am using Quicken 2004. (You read that right. Two-thousand-four. Bush v. Kerry. Ross and Rachel together again. Wardrobe malfunctions. Yeah, it's old.

A few weeks ago, I lost the ability to print. I hit the "Print" button, and nothing happens. Quicken is (was) finicky in printer selection - you would have to go Printer Setup => Reports and Graphs to select the printer, and then you could Print from "Print".

If you guessed that clicking on "Reports and Graphs" does nothing, you're good. Clicking on either "Print" or "Reports and GRaphs" (to see if a printer is even connected) does nothing. A few weeks ago, this was fine.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled. Uninstalled, rebooted, did a cCleaner registry clean up (I know, I know), rebooted, reinstalled. Still not working.

(Oddly enough, my "recent files" is still there, even after all that cleaning.)

Other than putting my finances on the cloud, does anyone have thoughts?

Will your old version of Quicken allow printing to PDF?  If so, you could print to PDF and then open that document in a PDF reader and print from it.

Also, as a last resort you can take a screenshot and print that.

I have read that Quicken disables functions on older versions so you will buy the upgrades...
