 I've been saddled with the task of transferring quickbooks from and
old system to a new one. Got the backup onto the new system, thought I
was done. Turns out, they write checks to plain paper in their
printer. It works just fine in the old system, I can't for the life of
me find anything set any differently in the new one, but, the new one
prints as if I had paper with the check allready on it (just the
information to fill one in) the lady who set the system up is long
gone, and everyone else there only knows how to use quickbooks. Me, I
know how to work on computers, but, know nothing about quickbooks. So,
I'm hoping someone here can give me a little guidance.

You can't. QB presumes pre-printed checks (in several configurations).
Absent compelling reasons to the contrary, order some "voucher" checks and
you'll be good to go.

lol, they are doing it somehow, I've perused quickbooks site all
afternoon trying to figure out how. I'd clone that drive and move it
over but the new system doesn't support pata drives, and the old one
doesn't support sata.

3rd party program you also need to copy? I don't believe QB can print checks
except on to preprinted forms. Perhaps a 3rd party printer driver?

Or for that clone do both systems support another format say USB?

I theoritically could clone over the network, never done it before,
but then, I'd have to deal with the driver thing and all, perhaps a
repair install of xp would fix it. Pretty serious stuff as there has
gotta be something simple making this happen. I don't see any third
party software installed on the system, guess I'll try to get ahold of
the person who set it up originally.
