[GNC] printing blank checks

[David Reiser]

the place to start: https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5//C/gnucash-manual/print-check.html

As long as one of the predefined forms matches your checks, it’s pretty straightforward. It’s easier printing a single check than several at a time, but mostly the several at a time requires you to search in a way that isolates the multiple checks in one register view.

I often issue the print checks command, and print to plain paper so I can make sure I haven’t screwed something up. Then I overlay the plain paper and check forms, hold them up to a light to check alignment.
