From: loxfarm on 26 May 2010 21:10 ------------------------------------- I recently downloaded my Quicken 2001 to my laptop (running Windows Vista). Program runs fine but when I try to print a report, I get error that it can't open printer. When I check in Printer setup, it's showing the correct printer name (Brother HL-2170W series) but on NE02: instead of USB001 (I assumed that NE02: was referring to the port number). Printer works fine with all other programs on laptop. I temporarily get around the problem by printing to an ASCII disk file, then printing the report out of Windows Notepad. Is there any way to fix Quicken to recognize the correct port designation? ##-----------------------------------------------## Newsgroup Access Courtesy http://www.rockryno.com/ Tax and Accounting Software Forums Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.comp.software.financial.quicken - 21835 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------##

Since I'm pretty comfortable with .QIF and don't know anything about .QFX, I was hesitant to make the leap. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade. If I were to upgrade to the latest which I think is the 2010 version, do you know of any problems with the data transfer from one to the other? Thanks in advance!

From: slb on 26 May 2010 22:29 I have the same problem with XP. When I loaded Quicken Premier 2008 it assigned my Epson Photo Stylus to NE04 and my Brother laser to NE05. Apparently Quicken thinks these are network printers. They're actually plugged into a USB hub. The laser can't print the image properly....prints in tiny point size. The Epson prints fine. Both printers list correctly to USB ports and work fine in every other application. Both printers also worked properly in my previous Quicken version. Tried everything short of rebuilding the entire system. I'm moving to Win7 this weekend. Who knows, maybe the problem will magically disappear? loxfarm wrote: > loxfarm had written this in response to > http://www.rockryno.com/quicken/Quicken-2001-and-USB-printer-22448-.htm : > I understand that I'm still in the stone age but I never felt the need to > upgrade when all I do is track my checkbook and my financial institution > only exports .QIF and .QFX formats.

loxfarm had written this in response to http://www.rockryno.com/quicken/Re-Quicken-2001-and-USB-printer-22451-.htm : slb, As I was awaiting responses to my inquiry here, I was looking on the Intuit site and noticed that there was a Rev 3 available for my Quicken 2001. I downloaded it and lo and behold! the Print Reports function now works!!!! There were no release notes attached to the download that I could see and when I look at the Printer Setup in Quicken, it still says NE02:. I guess it's all magic!!! Just make sure that you back up your data to a couple of different places and check to see if there are any updates to your Quicken Premier 2008 beforehand. I went to this link: http://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/using-quicken/patches-and-updates/3793.html to find my update. Thanks for your input.
