I have XP and QuickBooks Pro 2007. QuickBooks PDF Converter shows up with my printers, but when I am in QuickBooks, and click on print, it is not an option. I have removed and re-installed the converter several times, re-started, etc...it still doesn't show up as an option. When I use the option in File, it tells me I can't print to that file.

Please let me know if this has been helpful or if there is anything else I can do. Thank you.

Go 'Lists' and then open 'Templates', double click on the product invoice and make sure the invoice is 'Active'.
Qbooks saves printer settings for each feature, regardless of which is set as 'default' in Windows...be sure you have the correct printer selected.
If the above are set correctly, go to HP's website and download the latest driver for your printer.
