Printing issue fixed!  I had to activate the Payroll features within QuickBooks to be able to print the 1099-NECs.  After activating Payroll I then ran the Payroll Updates within QuickBooks.  Apparently the 1099-NEC is tied to the Payroll feature somehow.  This is another issued that should be addressed by Intuit - I will not be using the Payroll feature, but at least I can print 1099's now!
