Hi...

Does anyone know how to fix the following problem?

MYOB thinks it's printed an invoice, but nothing appears in the print queue, or actually prints.

I tried killing and re-creating the printer, but to no avail. It's a networked HP laser printer, which otherwise works fine...

Thanks,
Shay

Hi Shay

You can print by opening the invoice to the screen and then hitting the print button. That doesn't answer your question though. In relation to the print queue, when you click on Print Invoices and you get the dialogue box, you have to untick the Unprinted or Unsent Sales Only option and then tick the option that you want (a date range or invoice number range) and enter the info required. Please excuse me for stating the obvious above, but you did not mention whether the invoices had ever been printed initially.

If they have never been printed before, but they have been recorded, then I would guess that the little box near the bottom left of the invoicing screen which states Already Sent or Printed has been ticked previously and has remained so evermore. These tick boxes are the tricky ones as they often go un-noticed and if someone uses them they remain as last ticked/unticked.

Let me know if this was still not the solution.

On my baby MYOB (First Edge) I had a similar problem and found that one of linked accounts was 'unlinked'.

This doesn't sound logical to me - unless you are talking about a Preference. I wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about this one.

FREE TIP for the night!

I would encourage everyone to tick the 3rd box under Preferences/Reports & Forms called Always Display Report Customisation Option Before Printing Reports. That way when you select a report it forces you to look at the options available and hopefully you get what you want.

Otherwise you have to consciously click on the Customisation button and we know what happens under pressure and rushing - we choose the report and click display and get the default which is usually the current month or whatever. If you don't notice, you are using the wrong info.

Also in the latest versions, the report dialogue boxes have more tabs where previously all the options were in one box. Be aware of this as there are important options available in the other tabs.

Cheers,  Alex
