Can't print from Quicken Windows 2006

Christiane

Hi

I work for a tiny church and still run Quicken 2006. Money is tight. I went from an old window computer to Windows 11. Successfully transfered all Quicken files (Held my breath) but now I can't print. I get a dialoge box from Intuit Library "The PDF driver cannot be found. To restore it please make sure you are in admin mode and run restore PDFDriver.bat from C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Qickien\PdfDrv

I have done this so many times, the window that comes up disappears and no file was restored/added. I thought of downloading Quicken 2013, but I been reading, people have issues with even 2016.

PLEASE help me with a fix so I don't have to completely ditch Quicken. In time I want to buy a subscription, but the congregation needs to grow to have funds.

Thank you in advance Quicken Family

How did you reinstall Quicken 2006 on your new Windows 11 computer? From the original CD or a saved downloaded installation file?
Did you also install the patch files (bug fix floppies) that were sent to you in 2006 or 2007?

On both old and new computers, please do this: In Quicken click on Help / About Quicken. This will tell you what the installed release levels are.
As far as I can determine, for Q 2006, the latest available patch level should be release 5.

If you don't have the patches installed, please try this:

Go to the Patches folder which another Community user has made available.
Locate, download and install the file QW06R5Patch.exe

When done, try setting up your printer again: File Menu / Printer Setup / For printing reports

Printer drivers are very low level, and old ones aren't designed for the newer versions of Quicken. They are the first thing that fails to be compatible with new versions of Windows.

Instead of trying to use Quicken's old PDF driver, use Windows 11's instead.
