If you want to pring 1099 forms and not wanting to deal with the update issues

1) Get all the info updated and ready to print

2) Make an image backup of the system where you installed your Quickbooks

3) Updates your QB

4) Print your 1099

5) Restore image to get back your un-updated QB.

Work around on the update and able to print the 1099.

I guess it is time to install Quickbooks on a VM for easy snapshot .....
