Printing voucher checks for windows
Recently upgraded from 2017 to Quicken newest classic premier. Printer setup is set for voucher checks for windows but does not print aligned. Worked with the 2017 version but now won’t print correctly. Setup doesn’t change when I go back and make changes to other types of checks. Stays the same no matter what choice from drop down selection. Voucher checks is what I used in past and continue to want to use. Also Prints words of amount but not the number. Help please!

How to Repair Printer Setup:
Try resetting your printer definitions in Quicken and then redefine the printer:
For Quicken for Windows versions 2009 and older:
- Close Quicken
- Use Windows File Explorer to locate and rename the file
C:\Users\_username_\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\Config\WPR.DAT to WPR.OLD - Now set up your printer again, as described below. The WPR.DAT file will be recreated next time you start Quicken.
For Quicken for Windows 2010 until Quicken Subscription (US, 2021) R33:
- Click File / File Operations / Validate and Repair. Select only "Reset Quicken Printer Settings", then click OK.
- Now set up your printer (see below)
For Quicken for Windows Subscription (US, 2021) R34 and newer:
- Click File / Validate and Repair. Select only "Reset Quicken Printer Settings", then click OK.
- Now set up your printer (see below)
Printer Setup (all versions):
- Power on the printer
- Close and restart Quicken (might not be necessary, but it can't hurt)
- In Quicken click File / Printer Setup / For Printing and visit all selections as needed
(a) for Reports,
(b) for Checks,
(c) for Invoices [Quicken HB&R users only]
and define your printer.
If you're printing checks, do not forget to select the correct check style.
- For 3-per-page personal size checks choose "Wallet Checks (Check 21 ...)", not "Wallet Checks" (unless you still use some very old stock from many years ago)
- For 3-per-page business size checks choose "Standard Checks", not "Voucher Checks".
- For 1-per-page business size checks with 2 stubs choose "Voucher Checks".
- Canadian users need to choose between 2 layout styles, e.g., old style "Voucher" vs. new style "Voucher - Image ready".
Additional things to check:
- If you are printing a logo (image) on your checks, click the Logo button and make sure that your logo image file still is where Quicken expects it to be.
- Also choose the proper features for printing partial pages when using 3-per-page stock.
- Users of continuous forms on dot matrix printers: Be sure to select "Continuous Forms" instead of "Page-oriented".
- Laser / inkjet sheet-fed printers: select paper size 8.5*11", standard paper. Do not use any "Auto detect" or photo print settings.
- If checks print OK on one computer but do not align properly on another computer, compare printer settings, printer port selections and installed printer driver versions.
- Download and install the latest printer driver directly from the manufacturer's website. The driver that comes with your Windows installation may not be up to date.
- Make sure that at least one of your printers is marked as Windows Default Printer ... doesn't have to be the one you want to use with Quicken, but you need at least one marked Default Printer
- In some of the newer versions of Windows you may also need to do this:
Go into Windows Settings or Control Panel, Printers & Scanners.
Uncheck "Let Windows manage my default printer".

Forgot to mention:
The numeric amount on a check always prints in Arial Font, 10 pt., normal. That's a Federal requirement known as "Check 21".
All other fields on the check use whatever font style and size you have defined in Printer Setup / For printing Checks.So, if the numeric amount doesn't print, check if the Arial font is installed in Windows.
How is the printer connected? Via USB, Ethernet cable or wireless WiFi?
