Hi!  Much of the instructions above is for the Canadian version of TurboTax.   US TurboTax does not use that method to get to the Print Center.  And in the desktop software steps you mentioned above, Netfile is a Canadian feature.  I believe they were taken from a Canadian FAQ rather than a USA FAQ.
