Description Stewart Kluss 2013-10-11 20:02:26 UTC
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit). I downloaded and installed KMyMoney 4.6.1 through the Ubuntu Software Center. I was previously using Quicken running through WINE. I imported the QIC files with no problem. However, I simply cannot get KMyMoney to print checks.

The plugin is there and active. If I go into the plugin tools it tells me I need a check template. Which I do not have. I use pre-printed checks from Deluxe - sheets with 3 wallet sized checks per sheet.

I am trying to get away from using windows programs like Quicken, but I cannot do it with KMyMoney if it won't print checks. 

Please help. I need step-by-step instructions.

Reproducible: Always

Are you going to respond to my printing issue, or should I just continue to
use Quicken?

At the moment, you have to create the check template yourself. 
If you cannot do it, and the feature is a priority, then maybe it's better to wait until there is a set of templates that includes your bank checks.

I use standard Deluxe wallet checks - 3 to a page. Surely there is a
template for these. I have no idea where to get it.

Have a look at http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=111590.

There is a little information there, pointing to the location of the present templates, but which should be (at least here)
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kmm_printcheck.

It also mentions -
"How to trigger the check printing?

After selecting a transaction in the ledger use the 'Transaction'->'Print check' action."

You could try experimenting, presumably using blank paper initially!
