Hi there, Frank.

I can see the urgency to have your payroll checks fixed as soon as possible to get you back in working order. Also, I appreciate you taking the time to perform some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. 

To ensure that you'll get to sort this out, let's first make sure that your computer's date and time match your paychecks, as the payroll checks might have a missing green light button. Let me guide you on how:
 

1. Double-click on the time showing on your computer, on the bottom right of your screen to open up your Date and Time Properties.
2. On the Date & Time tab, ensure the current date is selected. If the wrong date is shown, correct it.
3. On the Time Zone tab, ensure the correct time zone is displayed. If this is incorrect, click on the down arrow and select the correct time zone.
4. Click OK.
5. Resend the payroll by clicking on Send Payroll Data from the Employees drop-down.

Moreover, in the meantime, I recommend changing the paychecks from direct deposits to live checks. Here's how:
 

1. From the QuickBooks Desktop Employee menu, choose Edit/Void Paychecks.
2. Enter the paycheck date in both the From and Through fields next to Show paychecks dates and hit the Tab key on your keyboard.
3. Select the check and click Edit at the bottom.
4. Click the Open Paycheck Detail button below the right corner of the check.
5. Remove the checkmark for the Use Direct Deposit box.
6. Click OK.
7. Remove the direct deposit memo from the Memo field on the paycheck.
8. Click Save and Close.
9. Resend the payroll by clicking on Send Payroll Data from the Employees drop-down.
10. Print the paychecks.

Once it's all done and ready, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll Support Experts to check your modified paychecks in QuickBooks. 

Additionally, I'll also share this link where you can search for articles that can serve as your reference in managing your QBDT company file: QuickBooks Enterprise Suite Help Articles.
