I think you really want to generate a Transaction Report.
1. In your top menu (File, Edit, View, ..., Reports,...) -- Click
on Reports.
2. In the drop down menu, Click on Transaction Report.
You will get a nearly empty tab that says:
Transaction Report:
No accounts selected
This report requires accounts to be selected in the report options.
Edit report options <gnc-options:report-id=0#>
3. Click on that Edit report options link (which is the same result
as clicking on the OPTIONS in the second level menu items at the top
of the window)
You will get a multi-tabbed window to set the various options for
this report. It defaults to the General Tab
4. Set the date range you want in the General tab.
5. Click on the Accounts tab and select the account/accounts for
which you want the transactions listed.
6. Work your way through the other tabs picking the options you want
(experiment).
7. When you are ready to see the effects of your choices, click on
the OK button in the lower right portion of the multi-tabbed window.
8. Don't like the results? Click on the Options menu item on the
second menu line at the top of the main window and make changes.
9. Iterate until you like what you see.

I have messed with these instructions (see below) a few times since
2/15 trying to get an actual report with no luck. Now I will take
you step-by-step through those instructions and hope we find what I
am not understanding.
I have opened a list of my accounts in one tab and I have opened my
share draft/checking account in another tab next to it. No other
tabs open. The goal is to print a list of transactions from my
share draft account from Mar 1 thru today (Mar 9). I understand
this page can also be called a transaction register.
Your next instruction says Selected View-Filter By. I take this to
mean Select View-Filter By so I do that. The share draft register
is open and has the focus of GC. I select my date range. Leaving
this little range selection open, I Select Reports - Account Report
and it does open a tab called Register but it is blank. So I went
back and started over, called up Filter By. It stil showed the set
up, so I clicked OK at the bottom. Blank screen.
I hope this helps you help me in some way. Your instructions seem
logical and clear to me. Over the years I have found it is not
uncommon at all for the instructions to say "go here, do this and
you will see that" and you see something else.
As a reminder I am running Linux Mint 22.3 and GC 5.14.
I now have a tool bar. It was not checked in the view menu.

Jerry,
The attached is the screenshot of the toolbar which appears after
you have:
Opened the register for the required account;
Selected View->Filter By from the Menu with the account register
open and set the desired selection options (show all and/or a
desired date range);
Selected Reports->Account Report (second last item in the list)
from the menu with the register for the desired account selected
immediately prior;
This should open a report in a tab labelled Register in a new tab
which has the transactions which were selected for view in the
account register
If you are not seeing anything in the report but transactions do
appear in the account register then that is very weird as the
Account Report does not
have the options normally set by Edit->Report Options for
selecting the date range that most of the other reports in the menu
have
If that toolbar does not appear the first item in the View submenu
View->Toolbar needs to be checked i.e. a tick in the selection box
to the right of the submenu entry.
