And then you might find your payee suggesting they would rather you use something their bank likes better.

Well, I lied, I'm not using GnuCash. I'm an excellent Raku programmer
with lots of PDF tools available, including a paid-for copy of a
licensed MICR font. I was looking for advice on others who printed
their own checks, and I do appreciate your advice.

As I said, I will start with my local bank to validate my process and
format. Then send checks to my children, from that account. Then I
will do the same thing with another account. Then I will try it with
both accounts to other commercial vendors.

Best regards,
