 I'd like to share some troubleshooting steps to isolate the printing issue in QuickBooks, @NMG5.

 

We have different steps for fixing the check alignment in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. Happy to provide the complete instructions to ensure you can print the checks accurately. 

 

Let's adjust the alignment of the text on a form. Do the following: 

 

  1. Open the document you want to change the alignment.
  2. Select Print and choose Show Details if you can't see the details.
  3. Click the Alignment tab.
  4. Move the block box to change the alignment. 
  5. Check the text alignment in the print preview to see if it's correct.
  6. If it's accurate, hit Print.

 

Let's configure other settings in your QuickBooks preferences if the issue persists. Proceed with the following steps:

 

  1. Go to QuickBooks and choose Preferences
  2. Select Checks
  3. Set the preferences described below:

 

  • Payee 
  • Date 
  • Account name (first 16 lines). Exception: QuickBooks prints the name of the inventory item on checks for inventory purchases. 
  • Memo (first 16 lines) 
  • Amount (first 16 lines) 
  • Total amount

 

       4. Close the preferences tab. 

 

After that, I'd suggest creating a sample check to verify if it's performing well. Once done, heed the instructions below: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu and choose Print Forms
  2. Select Checks and pick the form you want to print. 
  3. Click Print to customize the other settings. 
  4. Choose a Check Style under Options
  5. Go to the Alignment section and choose appropriate settings. 
  6. Hit Print.

 

 

If the alignment is still off, I'd suggest downloading the  QuickBooks Tool Hub. You can follow Tori's steps on this thread to do this.
