Make sure the printer and computer are both connected to the network, then try printing a document from a program other than Quicken. If the issue persists , most likely there is a problem with either the network or the printer. Because of the complexity and number of available network and printer configurations, we are unable to provide support for this issue.

For further assistance, check with: Your system or network administrator if you have one. The person s who set up your network. The vendor from whom you purchased the printer.

I am also in IT for over 20 years and certified across the board on many MS products.

The issue of print permissions did not seem to be something to look into for this issue. I went to XP Mode, installed Quicken , installed my printer took me awhile.. This is a bit late in the game, but so am I. The suggested answers didn't work for me, but did lead to a solution.

There is a distinct priority order of tasks that lead to a successful print. Get the latest printer driver for your printer that is designed to run under Windows 7 and install it.

That may be all too obvious, but Windows 7 seems to have some default drivers that it uses that will work with most but NOT ALL programs and printers. See that you have permissions to print set in your user profile. The fine details of tuning the Quicken setup as guided - or not - by the Quicken help desk may or not be needed after the new driver and full permission to print are completed.

By the way I just went through the Quicken help session April of and they do not check for either the first or second steps listed above. Win7forMe's answer is the only answer that worked for me.

I'm using Quicken and this was spot on for the solution. I've seen posted everywhere, even in Quicken own forum, to print to an alternate printer driver, but even that had same problem. The dialogue box seems to permit only a save as a txt file, however, name the file you are saving with an. I just had the same problem. Quicken Deluxe has worked on Win7 for years and today it quit.

I had deleted a printer that was in Quicken. To recover, I had a second machine that could access the Quicken files. I set the printer to one that was common across all my computers on the home network. I then went to the computer with the problem, changed the default printer to the common printer and Quicken was happy allowing me to set Checks and reports.

Friday, November 13, PM. I had the exact same problem, I have an HP Photosmart C printer, but I believe the following will fix your printing problem.

Click the Windows Start button on lower left corner of your screen. Click on the one that has the Green check on it. This is your Default printer. Click the "OK" button. Close all your open windows now and start Quicken. Open a report and print the report.

Hopefully it will work for you, I know how frustrating it is to get many replies and some just are not accurate. But seeing how I have the same Quicken as you do, and I just got rid of Vista and installed Win7, we seem to be in the same boat. So like I said, hopefully this will correct your printing problems in Quicken.
