How to open QBP file?
The main problem with QuickBooks Printer is that the QBP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that QBP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QBP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install QuickBooks
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that QuickBooks is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name QuickBooks into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file QBP.
Programs to open QBP file
Remember to download programs supporting QBP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with QBP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QBP file to open in the QuickBooks application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickBooks application as the default for handling the QBP file.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickBooks program with the QuickBooks Printer file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Intuit Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QBP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The QBP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QBP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QBP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QBP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QBP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QBP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QBP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move QBP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QBP file again. However, some background programs may block the QBP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
