Jay, maybe Rick's answer went to your trash. I thought it was a pretty

Good Afternoon,
I have Quicken Wallet Checks w/side stub. These are 3 up with a tab
at the bottom.
When I try to print checks with:
Check format: Quicken(tm) Wallet Checks w/side stub
Check position: Top
Checks on first page: 3
The results are: The first two print properly, however, the third
check prints on the tab at the bottom and leaves the third check blank.
What have I done incorrectly?
I run Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS w/Cinnamon Desktop and GnuCash 2.6.12.
Regards,
Jay
Hi Jay,
You can edit and fix any check format by going to ~/.gnucash/checks in
your file manager. There are some text files there that contain the code
for where to put lines on the checks.
The directory ~/.gnucash/checks is empty, however the master copy in
/usr/share/gnucash/cash/quicken_wallet.chk was there. I did not touch
it. I will copy it to my local directory first. See below...
You can find out more on how to edit them at
<https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/check_format_info.html
<https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/check_format_info.html>>
I had to do this some time ago to get it to print on Quickbooks style 3
part, 1 page checks as the one they provided didn't work either and
didn't include accounts and line notes needed for printing paychecks and
stubs.
Good luck!

Rick, Thanks, however, the problem may go just a bit deeper...
After looking at the docs you provided, unless I am missing something
more, it appears that it is not the check definition that is wrong, at
least as far as I can tell. See below..
I have discovered that if I print the checks 1 at a time and with the
position as Top and print, Middle and print and lastly Bottom and print
by reloading the same page into my printer ALL THREE checks will be
printed in the proper positions.
In the file /usr/share/gnucash/checks/quicken_wallet.chk there is
reference to Check Positions as shown below:
[Check Positions]
Height = 204.0
Names = Top;Middle;Bottom
However, there is not a definition for either of the 3 listed Names,
"Top, Middle, Bottom". Where is that information stored and can it be
modified?
Kind Regards,
Jay
