That's exactly what I want to do (and what quicken can do as well).

I imagined that too until I tried a bunch of them. GnuCash can print
exactly one check, and you have to tell it where the fields are
each and every time you want to print a check (it won't remember
templates for different checks).

KMyMoney won't print anything - not reports, not nuthin (and especially
no checks).

Every once and a while I have to write a real check (less and less frequently
as time passes), and it always irritates me to write the same set of numbers
on the check and into the computer, so if I write the program, by the year
3099 I will have saved enough time duplicating information on checks to
make up for the time it took to write the program :-).

But, like I said, it is mostly a Qt4 learning exercise (and if I do release it,
there will be one less "yea, but linux can't do XXX" :-).
