How to change print settings in QM 2007

I am still using Quicken Mac 2007 on an iMac running OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). Please don't lecture me about updating - I have my reasons. I'm hoping someone in this community still knows enough about QM 2007 to help with a recent problem.

I've always been able to print reports in portrait format but recently, for no apparent reason, they have started to come out in landscape. This wastes paper for long reports and is, frankly, annoying.

Quicken Preferences-Reports says nothing about printing.

Quicken Preferences-Print checks has 4 options but they all come out in landscape.

My default printing format for everything I print is portrait and that is working for other print jobs. But when I actually try to print a Quicken report, my Print - Layout settings show only landscape format, with no way to change to portrait.

I need to print several reports for tax purposes but am dreading using all that paper. If someone can shed some light on this mysterious gremlin, I'll be very grateful.

    Howdy, @MaryLRB

    While I have used Quicken for Mac since version 1.5 (circa '89), my memory is getting hazier with 2007. I don't recall print issues such as you describe as being a known problem. I don't have any machines to test things on anymore.

    My gut feeling is, while uncommon, to delete the .plist preference file and reinstall the app.

    User @jacobs was a long proponent of that older version and perhaps he has other ideas. We will have to see what he has to say. Good luck!

    Thanks for responding, John_in_NC. Since I've never had this problem before (in almost 20 years) I doubt that it is a "known issue". I'll try your .plist suggestion but I'm hesitant to reinstall for fear of really screwing things up.

    I'm running Quicken Deluxe v. 6 concurrently as a back-up and can print from there, but that means cross-checking every report to make sure the totals are the same. It's the solution of last resort, and I'd rather get my reliable QM 2007 back to normal.
