@edemery There is not going to be a "fix" to this issue. Quickbooks knew about it as early as last year when they first started rolling out the new invoice. In fact, go ahead and search on this forum and you will find several threads specifically complaining that invoices will not work for customers without the option to hide columns.

Quickbooks was aware. Quickbooks forged on anyway. To their programmers, this is not a bug, it a feature and there are currently no plans to implement the option to remove columns on the new invoice layout.

If you've found that you've wasted a lot of your time trying to make up workarounds for Quickbooks' awful new layout, you might find that your time might be better spent researching what other accounting software would be more stable and functional for your business. 

Freshbooks is a simple option. Wave, Xero, Zoho, and Netsuites will provide you with more all-encompassing features.
