Oct 15, 2018 - Quicken always let me do it. You can either print this report, or export it to Excel! How do you print a register vs balance sheet. Dec 1, 2017 - How to print check in quicken then call us quicken technical support number for printing issues.
(To print pocket size personal checks, please check.) ezCheckPrinting is the easy-to-use business version MICR and laser check writing and check printing software. This check printing software works with any standard blank check stock and preprinted check with 8-1/2' X 11' size.
You can use this PC check writer to print. ezCheckPrinting can support unlimited accounts and checks with no extra charge.
It also allows QuickBooks/Quicken users to print check on blank stock with the optional ezCheckPrinting virtual printer feature.
Click to expand.My file has ballooned to 100mb. I remember during one update it almost doubled in size. I may have a lot of data (not necessarily lots of 0's) but that is some inefficient file management for just literally number data. The Intuit Quicken was just awful in this way. No efficiency or stability or even attention to the product.
I was thrilled to hear about new ownership where Quicken would be the core focus. That's odd you find the interface much different. I've only heard it's fairly similar.
Either way, different doesn't concern me but worse does. I just double checked my file, and it is actually 12.5MB.
However, I only use Quicken for simple things like monitoring monthly bills, paying them, and see my cash flow (or lack of), weekly/monthly. I know Quicken can process cheques, budgets, taxes (to a degree) and such, but, I don't use none of those features. When I say Quicken for Mac is different to Windows, what I mean is, the layout is slightly different. I've been using Quicken for Windows since the last update to Microsoft's Money 2008, back in early 2009. So, I'm just used to the layout of the Windows version.

Surely after a few pay cycles, I'lll be just fine. My file has ballooned to 100mb. I remember during one update it almost doubled in size.

Click to expand.There is lots of unexpected stuff in the package. Mine is about 120MB but only about 90MB is 'data'. Most of the rest is in a subfolder named 'converted' which has information about the import from Quicken for Windows. If I were in a space crunch I might try deleting that and see what happens. I do have a Hazel action that takes any Quicken backups I make, compresses them into a ZIP archive, and moves them to an archive folder on my server. That cuts the space needed by about 50%. Click to expand.I'm actually not that concerned about the size, so I won't need to do file size rationing.
But, I was talking about the file itself, not the folder contents or anything else. I think it's just plain inefficient. It's not a huge concern as far as impact to me, but it does say something about the quality of the product IMHO. One of the many reasons the Intuit version of Quicken bothered me. As soon as I get a free day to allocate for setting up, I plan on getting the new Mac version.
I know that's worst case scenario planning, but I don't want to leave it half done. I upgraded yesterday from Quicken 2015 for the Mac to Quicken Mac 2017. Upgrade was seamless. I like the automated backup feature. I find the visual presentation better and more 'Mac like'. I don't like the pencil icon next to s manually entered transaction. Just another step.
I find the reconciliation better. My needs are very simple. I only use Quicken to track my Checking and Savings accounts. I don't use it to track investments. I don't use the bill pay option or anything related to credit cards. I mainly use the Category Sumnary report.
For me, in terms of what I use Quicken for, all of the versions, including Essentials, would suffice. Am I happy I upgraded? Even if we are very basic users, and do not take advantage of the features in 2017, I think it's important to support the product, by periodically upgrading. In this way, people who use more of the features, would be more likely to have them when they need them. I might feel differently, had I not purchased the upgrade during their 40% sale.
Has anyone used the new corresponding mobile app? The one for Quicken 2015, was really poor. Is the newer mobile app that works with Quicken 2017, any better?
One more question for Mac Quicken users. How do you print checks? In the Windows version, I had to use a really bad 3rd party program to print the bank set up info, then Quicken would print the key payment info. Can Quicken print the bank info, etc.
Along with the specific payment details? If it doesn't, are 3rd party programs available to do the 'set up' printing? I don't regularly use checks like most people living in this century. I only do this a couple times a year, but it is necessary nevertheless. One more question for Mac Quicken users.

I don't regularly use checks like most people living in this century. I only do this a couple times a year, but it is necessary nevertheless. Click to expand.I totally agree.
I think physical payments are dumb, inefficient and archaic. However, I don't have a choice in how vendors accept payment. If there is an electronic option, I always choose it. It's just not always an option.
I would love to stop doing this ancient payment method, but it hasn't died yet unfortunately. I know Quicken will print checks, but the question is how they define printing checks. It's usually a 2 step process. The first is to put all the bank and account info on the check. The second is to put the payment specific info on the check. I know Quicken is capable of step 2, but does it do step 1?
If not, is there a 3rd party program that people use? Click to expand.Thanks for your reply.
Yes, you have pre-printed checks from the bank. I have a stack of literal blanks from VersaCheck. They have nothing on the checks themselves. In the Windows Quicken version, I had to pre-print these with my bank info outside of Quicken. Then I would run the checks through Quicken and get the payment info printed. You may ask why does one do something like this.
Businesses do it en masse to customize the info on the check however they want. I also appreciate the flexibility to print ANY account's bank info on the check.
Yes, there are ways around this, and it's not required by any means, but since the functionality is there, I'd like to continue to use it.
