After much teeth gnashing and consternation (my cd-rom wouldn't work, so I had to download PP form the Consultant's Corner), I have Pampered Partner installed, orders for my first show entered, and submitted to the home office. NOW, I am printing out receipts. I didn't have much problem with the guests' orders, but on my hostess order, the print button is too far down, and I can't get the screen to go to it!!! How do I fix this? Also, I do not see a way to adjust the print margins on the receipts, so I have printing going over the pre-printed stuff on the receipt. This probably isn't as important as the can't print issue.

Thanks.

Paula,
In Pampered Partner, look at the very top at the menu bar. Near the right is an option called "print". Click it, then choose the 1st option. Then the 3rd option on the next window is "sales receipt". Double click, then click on "find show", choose the show you need, and highlight the receipt(s) you need to print and click "add". Much easier than going to each person's order to print.
Best Wishes.

Oh, great!!! I had tried to find that but couldn't. :) Tech Support did e-mail me back and told me how to adjust my screen resolution, so I did get it taken care of, but I will remember this (or look it up later ;) ) for my next show.

Thanks!

Hi Paula,I'm sorry to hear you had some trouble with Pampered Partner, but I'm glad to hear you were able to get it installed and enter your first show's orders. That's a big accomplishment!As for your printing issue, have you tried adjusting the zoom level on your screen? Sometimes, if the zoom is too high, it can push the print button out of view. You can adjust the zoom by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling up or down on your mouse.If that doesn't work, you can also try clicking on the "Print" option under the "File" menu at the top of your screen. This should bring up the print dialog box, where you can adjust the settings and margins before printing.I hope this helps! If you continue to have trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support team for further assistance. They are always happy to help.Best of luck with your show and happy cooking!Sincerely,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Pampered Partner is not printing at all?

If your Pampered Partner is not printing, first check that your printer is turned on and connected to your computer. Ensure that the printer has paper and ink or toner. Restart both your computer and printer, and try printing again. If the issue persists, check the printer settings in Pampered Partner to ensure the correct printer is selected.

How can I fix issues with printing reports from Pampered Partner?

If you are having trouble printing reports, make sure you are using the latest version of Pampered Partner. Check your report settings to ensure that the correct date range and filters are applied. If the report still won’t print, try exporting it to a PDF and printing from there, as this can sometimes resolve formatting issues.

Why are my printed documents from Pampered Partner coming out blank?

Blank documents can occur due to several reasons. First, check if your printer has enough ink or toner. Additionally, ensure that the correct printer is selected in the Pampered Partner settings. If you are using a wireless printer, confirm that your computer is connected to the same network as the printer. If the problem continues, try reinstalling the printer driver.

What should I do if the formatting of my printed materials is incorrect?

If the formatting of your printed materials appears incorrect, check the print preview in Pampered Partner to see how it will look before printing. Make sure your printer settings are configured correctly, including paper size and orientation. If the issue persists, try adjusting the margins or font sizes in the document settings before printing.

How can I troubleshoot connectivity issues between Pampered Partner and my printer?

To troubleshoot connectivity issues, first ensure that your printer is properly connected to your computer or network. If using a USB connection, try a different port or cable. For wireless printers, confirm that both your computer and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network. Restarting both devices can also help resolve connectivity issues. If problems continue, consult your printer's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
