getting an error message trying to print 1099{"message":"java.lang.NullPointerException","code":-1}

Hello there, Tricia. Let me help you with seamless and time-saving solutions when printing 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The java.lang.NullPointerException with code -1 when printing the 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Online Payroll usually indicates a software glitch or an issue with PDF rendering.

To fix this, we can update and repair your Adobe Reader, as QuickBooks relies on it for PDF printing.

Here are the steps that you can follow to repair Adobe Reader:

1. Close Acrobat/Reader and all open web browser windows.
2. Select the Start button at the bottom left of your screen.
3. Type Control Panel, and then press Enter.
4. Select Programs and Features, Acrobat, or Adobe Reader, and then click Uninstall/Change.
5. In the Setup dialog box, select Next. Select Repair, then Next.
6. Restart your computer after completing the process.
7. Log in to QBO, and then try to print a sample check.

Additionally, your web browser can sometimes cause issues, such as compatibility problems when printing 1099 forms in QuickBooks Online. To optimize your browser and help ensure successful printing, Intuit recommends using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
