    I just printed this report in BC 19.4 and the company name prints. Are you sure that you have a Company Name in Company Information?

    Hi,

    As Kim stated the Report contains Company Name field by default.

    Just check the name field in Company Information page.

    pastedimage1646331404333v1.png

    The Company Name should be there in  top left side of report.
