[GNC] How do I print a transaction register

[Mark Bourne]

 From earlier messages, it sounded like Jerry had GnuCash 2.14 installed 
via Flatpack.  His latest message below indicates that he reinstalled 
using APT.  I suspect he now actually has both GnuCash 2.14 installed 
via Flatpack and 5.5 installed, since APT apparently reported that 
GnuCash wasn't installed and I don't think he mentioned uninstalling the 
Flatpack version.

GnuCash 5.5 is the version in the Ubuntu 24.04 APT repositories, on 
which Linux Mint 22 is based and I think Jerry previously mentioned 
that's his OS.  Yes, that GnuCash version is quite old.  Personally I 
switched to using the GnuCash PPA, which currently provides 5.14, due to 
a bug with the "since last run" dialog in 5.5 that's fixed in newer 
versions of GnuCash.

Mark.
