First, I highly recommend you read the GnuCash documentation.  The
Tutorial and Guide are very useful in explaining the concepts, and the
Help is useful at explaining what the buttons do.

Having said that, there are two ways to enter a transaction like a Check. 
The first is to open the Transfer Dialog (Ctrl-T) and enter the date,
amount, source (e.g. Assets:Checking) and destination (e.g.
Expenses:Rent).
The second is to open the account register of the checking account and
from there you can create a transaction for the expense.

If you want to print a check, you need to do that from the register.

Hpoe this helps,
