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?
Top, Middle, and Bottom just tell gnucash whether to start printing
0, 1, or 2 x Height from the top of the page.
Coupled with the “checks on the first page” option, you can tell
gnucash exactly how to handle the first page of a multiple page check
printing. If you select Middle position and 1 check on the first
page, the first check is printed alone in the middle position of the
first sheet, while all remaining pages contain 3 checks per page
(since that’s the format you picked).
I never intend to run a printed check back through a printer — too
much chance to screw up and overprint an existing check. I’ve always
removed printed checks from the last sheet out of the printer from
any check printing session. So the next print job is always set to
Top position, with Checks on First Page set to the number of blank
checks available on the first sheet.
I only print about 3 checks per year these days, but sometimes they
all happen in the same print job.

Thanks, David
Can you explain why the 3rd check prints on the remaining bottom STUB
but NOT on the 3rd check?
I entered TOP for the first position and 3 for the number of checks on
the first page.
Cheers,
Jay
I’m pretty sure that means that something about the check definition is
causing gnucash to think that the middle check is encroaching on the
bottom check, so when it increments vertical offset for the last check,
it essentially creates a phantom 4th check position. Try reducing or
increasing the Height parameter slightly and/or mess with the second
Translation parameter (see what happens if you set Translation = 0.0;0.0
I usually have to fine tune the wallet check definition every time I
have new checks printed. The cheap check printers, especially, don’t put
all three checks in the identical position from the perforations. The
check definition ends up being a compromise on field location among the
three checks.

Thanks for the help...
Ran across an exchange back on May 21, 2016 that included a note from
Geert that stated that it (exact same problem as I was having) was
broken in 2.6.12 but fixed in 2.6.13.
I installed 2.6.17 (latest stable version). That fixed my problem!
The only change I had to make to the definition was to move the printed
date on the check right somewhat.
Happy camper now,
Jay
