You could choose to remove the 'require batch print before posting' in either the Payables or Ledger program, so that you can post the batch without requiring to print. This is set in the Company Profile of either program. I am not necessarily endorsing this change, but just pointing out the option if you don't really require printing the listing in both apps.

You could choose to print the batch listing to a file (ie Word or Excel) instead of to paper, if you want the printed output but want to save trees. Or re-direct the printer job to a PDF or electronic image printer driver instead of the live printer.

The reason for requiring a batch print before posting is a way to ensure that the information is correct in the batch prior to updating the vendor/account records. But the behaviour is optional.
