FinePrint

[gabletax]

FinePrint software--I've been using it in conjunction with ProSeries for longer than I can remember. Tried to print my first return today--the boilerplate form is all gibberish, but the data entries are printing OK. However, ProSeries will make a pdf that looks great. And if I change the printer so it goes straight to my laser printer, it looks great there, too. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?

Yes

Printing gibberish on forms

Letter is fine

Pdf is fine

The gibberish thing in FinePrint, what federal or state causes that? For example: is it Individual Minnesota?

Is it happening in both federal and state?

When did you update ProSeries last time?

Are you using Professional or Basic?

Fabian: For me, it's a federal Form 1065 as well as a federal Form 1040. I haven't tried printing a state yet. I'm using ProSeries Professional and updates are downloaded every night. I'm not at that workstation right now, but I recall seeing the January 29 update being installed.

Is your definition of "gibberish" similar with what has been reported at (https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-tax-discussions/discussion/re-actual-forms-i-e-104...

If it's not the same, can you please take a picture and post it here. Create a fake return with random information in it. Use the camera button right above where you type your reply.

We are having this issue printing to file cabinet.

@Fabian  Oops. With "Print as image" selected, ProSeries now crashes instead of printing. So I guess we could say it doesn't fix the problem.
