An easier way to share your reports

If you store your company file online, you can give other users access to your company file, so they can produce their own reports.

If you're having trouble printing from AccountRight, make sure your printer driver is up to date. You can check the printer manufacturer's website for driver updates. Also see Printing from AccountRight for additional troubleshooting options.

A temporary workaround is to save your report as a PDF file which you'll then be able to print.
