AccountRight printing blank pages? See the FAQs below for a solution.

Setting up your printer

AccountRight can print using any of the printers installed on your computer. However, note the following:

  • AccountRight will use the default Windows printer set up on your computer. If you don't have one set up, see this Microsoft article about how to do it. You can choose a different printer when printing.
  • your printer needs to have a printer driver installed that's compatible with your Windows version. Make sure you check for updated drivers if you upgrade your version of Windows or set up a new computer.

Troubleshooting printing

Some 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. It involves using  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:

  1. In AccountRight, click Print to try to print somethingOpen your company file.
  2. Open a transaction or report and then click Print.
  3. When prompted to choose a printer, choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

Why don't I have access to print features?

If you can't access print features, for example, Print/Email Invoices from the Sales command centre, or Print/Email Pay Slips from the Payroll command centre, this is because the company file role assigned to you doesn't permit you to access these features. If you need access to them, contact your company file Administrator.

titleWhy am I getting a message about a valid Payee Number when printing?

Why am I getting a message about a valid Payee Number when printing?

The message "You have selected an invoice form which includes fields that require a valid Payee Number" means you're trying to print the form using an M-Powered form template (these have names beginning with MPS).

Print InformationImage Added

To prevent this message appearing, choose a different form to print the invoice (one which doesn't start with MPS).

If you've customised the M-Powered invoice form, you'll need to re-customise the invoice using a non-MPS form as the basis.
