HV Ken Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 It seems things are beginning to approach some level of stability (some is the operative word). This has certainly helped to reduce the high stress level from February! I am finding the new Print Manager to be a substantial improvement over the past. I know some are really struggling with it, but I really like it. My printing is much faster this year than in the past due to the usability improvements.

BulldogTom Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 HV Ken, I have not had a chance to work in the print manager a lot because things are so "iffy" with the software. Could you elaborate on some of the things you like? I will start - I like the custom watermark feature. When amending, I usually include "As Originally Filed" and "As Amended" on my 1040 copies and I highlight them. Takes time. Now, I click on the watermark and it prints across the page for me. NIce time saver. Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be much smarter at pre-selecting what to print. I find it easier to choose what to print. I think the time I spend in the print manager this year compared to previous years is reduced by a factor of 3-4 times. That's a huge win - I always felt the print manager was the least useful part of the old ATX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schirallicpa Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't know what it is about the print function, but if I am going to bomb, it is when I click on print. Always save before hitting print! And BACK UP every night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just on ATX's default. Back up on a separate disk or thumb drive.
