I hope that this isn't an incredibly dumb question.  Can GnuCash print
Check21 compliant checks?  That is, if the print was the correct size?
And if the checks are drawn on US or Canadian banks?

I assume that I can purchase Check21 compliant blank checks from
someplace by telephone, perhaps, so that I do not transfer my checking
account number over the internet.  Is that a fair assumption?

So far, I have not been able to figure out exactly why Intuit states
that wallet checks printed from their Quicken 2005 or earlier programs
are not Check21 compliant.

Is this an issue only for wallet size checks?
