Hi there, lblack.
The Paycheck Printing Settings may have been set to Plain paper stub. I suggest changing it and choosing Preprinted QuickBooks®-compatible voucher check stock. This, way the paycheck will print that way you want it.
Here's how:
1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner.
2. Choose Payroll Settings and select Paycheck Printing under Preferences.
3. From Paycheck Printing Settings, choose Preprinted QuickBooks®-compatible voucher check stock under How would you like to print your pay stubs and checks?
4. Print 2 stubs or Print 1 stub.
5. Select the OK button.
Once done, I recommend using the Paycheck list report to easily print the paycheck. Please follow the steps below.
1. Click Reports at the left panel.
2. From the search icon at the left corner, type paycheck list.
3. Select the paycheck you want to print by putting a checkmark in the box.
4. Click the Print button. The checks appear in a PDF viewer.
5. Make sure your printer is filled with check stock.
6. Click the printer icon in the PDF viewer and follow the instructions.
