There is no problem printing from other programs. Because of my work I
print from 10 or 15 different programs to printers and pdf. I have tried
to print checks and reports to pdf and it will print. However, the
result is a blank page. HB

That behavior is very similar to what you see when the output goes to
the wrong printer.
Have you tried things like printing to PDF or printing from a
different program?

I ran the fix - modified for windows 10 64 and Microsoft
Edge/IE11. Never had the problem with the reports not showing just
not printing. It did not work.
When I bring up a report or check to print, I clink on "print".
This opens the print window box. It shows my printer as "ready".
In the Page Range section the Pages area is blank. This indicates
there are no pages to print - I think. If I then go ahead and
click on print then the print icon shows up in the bottom tray.
But it indicates there are no documents in the cue. It then goes
away after a couple of minutes.
Thanks,
HB

You can see how old this bug is, I am not sure if you can run IE9
in windows 10. Perhaps someone knows if this work-around can be
adapted to WIN 10.

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,

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]

Title = Liberty(tm) Personal Checks US-Letter

Type_2 = AMOUNT_WORDS
Coords_2 = 90.0;96.0

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
