So I save the print file to pdf for payroll when I run it, as I'm out of town and have someone locally print the pdf on checks.   GUESS WHAT -- THEY USED THE WRONG CHECKS.  And yes you're right.... Quickbooks makes sure you waste fantastic amounts of time to process it correctly.

Something as simple as mis-printing and you waste such time.  The frustration is that Quickbooks very clearly has no concern for the wasted time, nor intentions to make payroll check account drawn from editable.  Very frustrating.

Fortunately, the market is getting closer to the consumer and another accounting package will respond quicker and more directly to user needs and take the market share.
