How do I change the print options for the Federal Information Worksheet?

[caroljo]

I only want the 1st page of the Federal Information Worksheet to print.  How do I change that?

Id like that as well, its not an option anywhere that Ive found.

In print preview you can select 1,2, or 3 pages of the federal information sheet to print.

I'm using proseries basic.

I hadn't considered that, thanks for the idea!

Lisa..have you figured out how make that option universal instead of having to  do it for each one separately?

Have you been able to do that universally instead of having to do each one separately?

No.

In a perfect world, you can go to a template and not check the "print" button to the bottom left of each info worksheet.  In a perfect world, every return will have this option.  This year, you cannot even achieve one page printing by manually insuring the "print" buttons are not checked on each return.  I choose not to use the name of a software company who has worked long and hard to insure their program has the numerous problems, flaws, shortcomings, errors, omissions, and outright poor content this year's ProSeries contains.  This could possibly be in the running for their worst year yet.  I have been using the program for over twenty years.  This year is just short of receiving my vote.

I hate to tell you this, but I find no where in the program short of jumping through hoops with Print Preview that this issue can be eliminated.

Furthermore, when printing to DMS, the changes you make via print preview are ignored.  Print preview changes (de-selecting pages) only gets applied to hard copy print jobs.

I just spent over an hour with Pro Tech support trying to figure out why I am getting 5-6 pages instead of just page 1, which has been the default, universal option in all previous years. I've been bothered by this all year, but decided to call Tech Support today. The Tech Reps could not identify a solution. Something is  backwards in the programming. Pro Series Help says check the blocks on pages 2 through 6 if you want them. Mine are unchecked; don't understand why PRO keeps printing 6 pages instead of just Page 1. Seems like it should be an easy fix.

6 copies of every form?  Ohh, just the fed info worksheet?  Weird, when I print it, I only get 2 pages.
