You can print checks with Quicken on both page-oriented printers (including laser and ink jet printers such as Hewlett-Packard LaserJet and Inkjet printers) and continuous-feed printers.
Printing a partial page of checks
If you use standard or wallet checks in your page-oriented printer, you'll sometimes find that a partial page of one or two blank checks remains after you've finished printing. You can start printing on that partial page the next time you begin to print checks.
If your printer won't print checks properly from the envelope feeder (or doesn't have an envelope feeder), try positioning the checks in the paper tray with the top of the check touching the rollers. You might need to order forms leaders from Quicken.
