Where is printing adjustment tab in Windows 11? Trying to print 1099 NEC forms.

Posted on by 5

We are still working through our 2022 Year End upgrade for GP.

Old and active system: Windows 10, Dynamics GP 18.4.1384

New and in testing system: Windows 11, Dynamics GP 18.5.1596 - Microsoft Dynamics GP 2022 U.S. Year-End Update.

 

While test printing 1099 forms, we could not find the printer dialog box with the alignment settings.  

Here is where it was on Windows 10:

Yet, going through the same steps takes us to a very different looking window in Windows 11 and there is no separate tab on which to enter the horizontal and vertical adjustments.

I followed many of the suggestions in the blog posting (https://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/dynamicsgp/posts/microsoft-dynamics-gp-year-end-update-2022-payables-management-form-changes) for the Question 6, but without being able to use a horizontal or vertical adjustment, this was a dead end.  Modifying the form would get us close, without the horizontal or vertical adjustment, we could not get it to stop printing on the lines or text.

Has anybody else using Windows 11 encountered this problem and found the missing alignment input boxes?

 

After much time, I found a workaround using some hints found online, namely the editing of the DEX.INI file.

On the Windows 10 machine, I set up a 1099 print and entered horizontal and vertical adjustments.  I then viewed the DEX.INI and saw the lines it added.  I copied those lines to the Windows 11 machine's DEX.INI.  Next, I keep modifying those numbers in the DEX.INI file and did test prints until I got everything to line up as needed.  I am not positive whether all 4 of the following lines were needed.  The "123;456" numbers are the ones I kept adjusting until I got it to work on the Windows 11 machine.  "Acct_M712DN_PS" is the name of our printer.

NoPrintDialogs=FALSE
ST_SetDefault=TRUE
PRNTALGN Microsoft Print to PDF=123;456
PRNTALGN \\{domain for printer redacted}\Acct_M712DN_PS=123;456

    Hi Rick, in my testing I have noticed this change too.  Try this.

    Right click on your GP icon to launch and choose Run as Administrator and then log into GP.  When I do this, then I print to screen, from there, I choose the print button and my alignment tab does appear as yours above.

    Thanks

    From the  > Reports menu, click Government Reporting > Form 1099-NEC.

    Multi-company only. Select a company.

    Enter information as follows:

    For Do this

    Year

    Type the year for the forms you want to print.

    Print option

    Plain paper

    Pre-printed forms (Copy A - IRS copy and Form 1096 - IRS copy only)

    e-Filing

    If you file electronically (using Ajera e-Filing), print the forms on plain paper and confirm the accuracy of the information before filing.

    Minimum reporting amount

    Type the minimum amount for which you want to produce a form.

    You can also enter it using the calculator.

    Vendor

    To print a 1099 form for only one vendor, click the  (more) button and select the vendor.

    Check corrected box

    Select this check box, which selects the Corrected check box on the 1099 form, to indicate it is a corrected version of a form you previously submitted.

    Note: If you file electronically (using Ajera e-Filing), this check box is unavailable. Ajera e-Filing does not support corrected forms. Ajera e-filing corrections can be made on the Nelco e-filing website.

    Short year

    Select this check box if you want to print 1099 forms for only part of the calendar year.

    In the From and To fields, enter the date range for which you want to print the 1099 forms.

    Form option

    Click the type of form you want to print.

    Note: You cannot print Copy A if you selected Plain paper in the Print Option field; the IRS requires that you print Copy A on only the preprinted form.

    If you selected to print a 1096 form, a window appears for you to enter the following information and click OK:

    For Do this

    Contact name, phone, fax, email

    The name and contact information for the person who signs the form

    Note: The email address can contain up to 25 characters.

    Signer's title

    The title of the person who signs the form

    Click Print.

    On the Print window, review your selections and change them as needed. If forms do not align properly for your printer, adjust the printer alignment.

    Click OK.  Caregiver Connect

    (Optional) File your 1099-NEC forms electronically with Ajera e-Filing.
