How Do I Print Quicken Reports?
Printing a Quicken report involves more than simply pressing the "Print" button. While you can set default report printing properties that apply to most report printing jobs, Quicken also provides options within the Print Dialog Box that allow you to set properties such as page orientation, number of copies, and color, as you go. If you prefer to save and print your report as a PDF file, Quicken has options for that as well.

Tips & Warnings
Quicken "finds" and displays installed printers by searching the printer list in your operating system "Control Panel." Add new printers and remove printers you do not use from your operating system. Saving a report in PDF format is a good idea to ensure nobody can change report information.
To open a report saved in PDF format you must install a PDF reader on your computer.
