Troubleshooting printingSome software programs (most notably Windows software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel), communicate with your printer in a different way to other programs (they send messages using a different software language). In some cases, you may be able to print using one program but not another. Where this occurs, your printer driver needs to be reinstalled or updated. If you're trying to print from AccountRight and nothing happens, or you get an error, there's a simple test to help identify your issue. The test uses Microsoft XPS Document Writer, a default Windows program which works like a printer, but which creates a file (like a PDF) of your document, instead of printing it. Here's what to do: - Open your company file.
- Open a transaction or report and then click Print.
- When prompted to choose a printer, choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
