You cannot at the present time.

I will add your request in my todo file, but first I just want to understand more your request.
The fact is that I do not know any personal finance software that offer this feature.
And the reason, to me, is probably that it is out of scope for personal finance software, isn't it?
But maybe I am wrong, so I do not answer you that I will not think about your request.
Just tell me more and we will see.

Anyway, you must know that I already have plenty of other prioritary things to do before think about such "exotic" features, so it could never be implemented, but it will be keeped in my todo for sure.

This feature--printing checks--is also important to me and to a friend of mine. We both use Linux, and the two home money-management programs we have used so far, MoneyDance and GnuCash, both can produce output that can be sent to the printer to print checks.

Both programs have configuration tools so that the information (payee, numerical and alphabetic amounts, date, notes) can be positioned in absolute locations on a particular page-size (A4, US "letter," etc.), then sent to the printer to be printed in the appropriate locations in order to complete the "variable areas" of pre-printed checks that can be purchased from a variety of sources.

Best wishes,

The ability to print checks is a requirement for me in any personal finance software I evaluate. As stated above there are several options out there that include this functionality. Lack of this feature = uninstall the application for me. I'll check in on future releases to see if this has been added but for now, it's back to GnuCash or maybe I'll try MoneyDance.

Can you help with this problem?
