It's important to prepare your printer to print with Quicken. This lets you tell Quicken things such as what fonts you want to use, the margin sizes you prefer, and whether you want your items printed in landscape or portrait mode.

Of course, before you can prepare a printer to print, you must make sure you've installed the proper driver so your printer works as efficiently as possible.

  • What if I'm using an older printer?
    To maintain compatibility with the latest software, drivers are occasionally updated by Microsoft or by the device manufacturer. If you have an older monitor or printer and you're having problems, it's always a good idea to find out whether you have the latest version of your driver. The latest versions are generally obtainable directly from the manufacturer or from Microsoft.
