[GNC] Can no longer print checks

I ran the fix - modified for windows 10 64 and Microsoft Edge/IE11.
Never had the problem with the reports not showing just not printing. It
did not work.
When I bring up a report or check to print, I clink on "print". This
opens the print window box. It shows my printer as "ready". In the Page
Range section the Pages area is blank. This indicates there are no pages
to print - I think. If I then go ahead and click on print then the print
icon shows up in the bottom tray. But it indicates there are no
documents in the cue. It then goes away after a couple of minutes.
Thanks,
HB
