How do I print a single check? It will print 3 or 2 from a sheet of 3, but it will not print a single check.

 

My old HP did it just fine, but I can't figure out this one. It is a nightmare to have all these extra checks.

Hi! @KaraRose,

 

Have you tried printing the cheque from a different application?

 

Are you printing using the HP quick books software?

 

If you are printing cheques using the quick book's software try the steps recommended below.

 

I am not trained on 3rd Party Software but I did come across these steps that you can try:

 

Don't change Paper Types or Sizes at the printer. The QB program manages all of this.

Leave your printer set to Regular paper. That is what the Check stock is = regular sized paper.

 

You set QB, in File menu > Printer Setup, Checks/Paychecks. Select the paper check stock you bought. 

If you are using either of the Multi-check per page options:

Set the Partial Page, such as "single check to the side" or "single check in the center" to match your Envelope Feeder. But you are not printing Envelopes, so change NOTHING at the printer. It is just a Position setting.

 

And of course, a short page might be One check or Two Checks, so:

When you print checks, every time, you still Confirm if this round is a full page or partial page, and if partial page then how many on the first page, and confirm that this first "short page" is being fed correctly per that setting. Confirm this when using Print, specifically, not from Printer Setup but from that Print dialog, each time.

 

Also, if you still have issues try the steps recommended below.

 

Quickbooks: "File" --> "Printer Setup" --> "Check" --> Make sure your printer is the one selected by "Printer Name" --> "Properties" or "Options" --> "Print Quality" --> SET TO "DRAFT" then make sure you save this change. Exit back out to Quickbooks home or whatever and try to print the check again.

 

Refer the third party video instructions to know more information about printing cheques from QuickBooks. Click Here

 

 

Let me know if this works!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
