Hello,

Welcome to the mailing list.  Hopefully we can help you become more familiar 
with the software.

I'm not sure who the "Document Producers" you speak of are, but several of the 
key Gnucash developers are active participants on this mailing list, as well 
as many users of Gnucash, and even one or two accounting professionals.  Any 
question you have will likely get a response from this list, even if it is 
a "sorry, can't be done" answer.

To print a complete register, you have to first create a register report, and 
print that.

To compare the Gnucash register with your bank statement is a process 
called "reconciling" which is covered in some depth in the docs and FAQ 
available at www.gnucash.org  - you don't even have to print anything to do 
what you want!

IMHO, most accounting software has plenty of jargon and "odd" concepts, which 
take a bit of getting used to, but all I can say is look at the message which 
arrived on the list 30 seconds after yours.  Not everyone shares your 
opinion, which you are of course welcome to hold.

I got what I paid for when I obtained GC for no direct financial cost.  But 
don't forget, FREE isn't exclusively financial freedom, and IMHO, Gnucash 
certainly isn't cheap.

Good Luck,
Maf.
