The process is mostly manual. As of gnucash 2.6.12 you can
- select Vendor->Process payment
- highlight the bills to pay for your vendor
- tick the "Print Check" button
- click ok

This will
1. process the payment in your books (that is, add a payment transaction)
2. open the print check dialog window to print one check for this vendor and 
the total amount due for all the selected invoices. It will automatically use 
the vendor address to print on the check so make sure this information is 
provided for each of your vendors.

Repeat these steps for each of your vendors.
