Hi Folks,

I installed KMyMoney because I need to print checks from my Ubuntu machine. Now that I've got it installed, I don't find the checking printing option. I don't need the accounting part, just check printing.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there an additional program I need? Is there a user guide?

Thanks!
Katrina

Try this, it may not provide all you wish for (don't know as I don't use it)

Go to Settings -> Configure KMM -> Plugins then tick the box next to 'Print Cheque(check)'

Thanks very much for this quick reply,

It took a while to find the settings, but when I did I see that check printing is already marked, as is csv import and the other options.

Is there a manual any where that I can use to answer these very basic questions?

How to trigger the check printing?
Can blank checks be printed?
What is the file format for the cvs import?
Is there a corresponding export function?

Thanks for your patience,
Katrina

the app home page is http://userbase.kde.org/KMyMoney, you'll find links to the manual and the FAQ

the manual pages for import & export http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extr ... mpexp.html

if you get no answer here try the irc channel (note response there may be slow) #kmymoney on freenode.org

Thanks very much!

I'm switching over from a Windows system, and sometimes the transition is "challenging". LOL

Cheers,
Katrina

How to trigger the check printing?

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

Can blank checks be printed?

The only thing that the print check plugin does right now is to take the html file located in

Code: Select all

/usr/share/apps/kmm_printcheck/check_template.html

and replace the placeholders with the fields from the selected transaction. You can provide another check template in the plugin settings dialog AFAICR.
