I started off looking in the the old reports to see if there was
anything and could not find anything about windows and printing
problems. That may be my inability to search properly. So if anyone
knows the fix that you are referring to I hope they will give me the
location.
Thanks for the help,
HB

That looks identical to the same file on my computer, but I did not
check the entire guid line.
There is a very old bug report about not being able to print in
Windows which has never been resolved because it cannot be repeated.
I don't remember the bug number. Someone found a work-around that
seems to make the problem go away until a re-install of something,
either Windows or GnuCash. That work-around may work for you.

David,
I can not print reports, now. New problem. I opened one of the
.chk in Wordpad and this is what printed out:
[Top]
Guid = 378e5740-a2d3-4678-be20-37d14d97b458
Title = Liberty(tm) Personal Checks US-Letter
Rotation = -90.0
Translation = 4;492
Show_Grid = false
Show_Boxes = false
[Check Items]
Type_1 = PAYEE
Coords_1 = 118.0;74.0
Type_2 = AMOUNT_WORDS
Coords_2 = 90.0;96.0
Type_3 = AMOUNT_NUMBER
Coords_3 = 415.0;74.0
Type_4 = DATE
Coords_4 = 323.0;43.0
Type_5 = NOTES
Coords_5 = 90.0;155.0
I did not make custom checks. I am using 2.6.21
Thanks for the help,

I did not address the failure to print problem. That is probably
not related to the .chk files but something else. Can you print
reorts?

HB,
Windows always calls *.chk files 'Recovered File Fragments'
If the files are in the 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks' directory they are not
fragments but the files that you want, at least for 2.6.x
releases of GnuCash in Windows. You can open them
(carefully) with Wordpad and see what they contain. If you
made custom check printing formats they may be somewhere
else, I have not tried that.

Hi,
After using gnucash for several years I decided it was
time to upgrade
from 2 to 3 a few months ago. Bad decision. If it is not
broken don't
fix it. The upgrade went smoothly with no problem. Every
function worked
both old and new. Until I tried to print a check. At
which point nothing
happened with the printer. After a 2 or 3 minutes I got a
warning
message that my check file was a fragment. I went into
the system to
verify that and found that all the .chk files were
fragments. I tried to
reload new files but they kept being replaced by the
fragments.
Step 2: I went back gnucash 2 last stable version on
line. It reloaded
without a problem but still could not print checks. Same
problem.
Step 3: Loaded gnucash 2 on a laptop that had never had
it on it before.
Then took a saved file from 3 months before the problem
happened and
loaded it. Once again everything went fine until I tried
to print. Then
was presented the same problem of .chk file fragments and
not being able
to replace them.
Step 4: Using the laptop as my test bed, I removed
everything gnucash
from the hard drive. Search the C drive for any thing
left and removed
it as the administrator. Then did a search for .chk and
found 4 files
buried on the C drive - all fragments. I could delete
them but they
would come right back as soon as I restarted the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am getting
tired of hand
writing all of my checks.
I am running Windows 10 on all of my computers and they
are all
completely up to date.
Thanks,
HB
