Hello!
My sister has MS and needs to print checks using Basic Quicken 2007. She bought a new printer - an HP Photosmart C4180 - and it won't allow her to print checks. She talked to a rep at HP who told her she needs to buy a different printer ($900.00 - not an option) and a different rep told her she needs to have an inkjet printer instead of a Photosmart. She's not running a business; she just needs to be able to print the occassional personal check. Can anyone help us, please? Thanks!

That advice from HP is absolute non-sense. Just about any printer that's capable of printing 8 1/2 X 11 paper should work fine for printing checks. That Photosmart C4180 is an All-in-One unit, isn't it? Clearly, it should print from Word, Excel, etc., and therefore, can print checks. Has she used the printer for plain text documents? Exactly what happens when she tries to print a check?
The problem may be in setting up the print settings for printing a check within Quicken. I suggest you/she visit Quicken Community / Forums / Quicken for Windows (http://www.quickencommunity.com/webx/Forums/Quicken%20Personal%20Finance%20Software%20Forum%20for%20Windows/Printing%20in%20Quicken/) and try using that forum for this issue.

And from what i've read if this is an "ahem " version of Quicken this won't work...
