[GNC] check printing

[Andrea]

   Actually, it’s not academic. There are still many workers in the US
   that want a check payment once the work is done. Right now I have a
   printer with MICR ink that does print routing and account numbers. I
   print from different bank accounts, so it is so easy to print checks on
   blank stock and have the different bank information printed in MICR. I
   would like to find a software that can do that or integrate with a
   check printing software.

   Years ago (before electronic payments and deposits) I recall that it
   was possible to program GnuCash to print the MITRE line, as it used to
   be called, but you needed to use special magnetic ink so that check
   readers could read them reliably.  I imagine that it is still possible,
   but hardly necessary in the United States, anyway.  I think that you
   used to get the supplies from a company called Checksoft.  Back then
   banks weren't very cooperative because mistakes could wreak havoc in
   the clearing houses, and today they would be even less cooperative due
   to increased fraud concerns.  If you are really an alum of Southwest
   Bell, you are probably a U. S. citizen and probably already using
   electronic deposits and payments, so I suspect that your interest may
   be mostly academic to show your grandchildren.

     I was wondering if you need to use a pre-printed check or can you
     use
     blank check stock and have the routing and account numbers printed
     out
     by GnuCash.
