I have discovered a seamless work-around for this unforgivable issue. 

Note: I AM USING QB DESKTOP, BUT THE SOLUTION CAN BE APPLIED TO PRINTING FROM THE ONLINE VERSION OF QUICKBOOKS, AS WELL.

1. Save your 1099s as a PDF file...

    a) Follow all steps for printing your 1099s, as normal. When you have finally navigated your way through the "Print 1099s" obstacle course and see the "Print 1099" button on the popup menu, click on it.

    b) When the print dialogue box opens, select the PRINTER drop down menu and select "Adobe PDF..."

    c) Save the file to an easy-access location on your computer.

2. Print your 1099s...

    a) Open the PDF file you just saved

    b) Select File-> Print, or Ctrl+P

    c) In the Print dialogue box, under Page Sizing and Handling, SELECT CUSTOM

    d) Change percentage to 102%

    e) Print ONLY Page 1. Examine your copy. If it didn't print quite right, continue to adjust the CUSTOM percentage as necessary—until it prints correctly.

    f) Once you have found the custom percentage that adequately corrects alignment issues, print all pages of your 1099 PDF File

4. Pour a glass of wine, as you surely deserve one after spending ridiculous amounts of time trying to solve a problem that should have been corrected LAST YEAR when Quickbooks first became aware of the issue.
