This is the modified fix that I ran:
- click on Control Panel via Cortana search
- Click on Internet Options
- Select the Programs Tab
- At the bottom of the tab, select Set Programs
- Select the bottom option "set program access and computer defaults"
- You are then asked to choose default apps:
- I used the Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults -- It did not
work for me

I ran the fix - modified for windows 10 64 and Microsoft Edge/IE11.
Never had the problem with the reports not showing just not printing.
It did not work.
When I bring up a report or check to print, I clink on "print". This
opens the print window box. It shows my printer as "ready". In the
Page Range section the Pages area is blank. This indicates there are
no pages to print - I think. If I then go ahead and click on print
then the print icon shows up in the bottom tray. But it indicates
there are no documents in the cue. It then goes away after a couple of
minutes.
Thanks,
HB

You can see how old this bug is, I am not sure if you can run IE9 in
windows 10. Perhaps someone knows if this work-around can be adapted
to WIN 10.

I started off looking in the the old reports to see if there
was anything and could not find anything about windows and
printing problems. That may be my inability to search
properly. So if anyone knows the fix that you are referring
to I hope they will give me the location.
Thanks for the help,

That looks identical to the same file on my computer, but I
did not check the entire guid line.
There is a very old bug report about not being able to print
in Windows which has never been resolved because it cannot
be repeated. I don't remember the bug number. Someone
found a work-around that seems to make the problem go away
until a re-install of something, either Windows or GnuCash.
That work-around may work for you.

David,
I can not print reports, now. New problem. I opened one
of the .chk in Wordpad and this is what printed out:
[Top]
Guid = 378e5740-a2d3-4678-be20-37d14d97b458
Title = Liberty(tm) Personal Checks US-Letter
Rotation = -90.0

[Check Items]

Type_2 = AMOUNT_WORDS
Coords_2 = 90.0;96.0
Type_3 = AMOUNT_NUMBER
Coords_3 = 415.0;74.0
Type_4 = DATE
Coords_4 = 323.0;43.0
Type_5 = NOTES
Coords_5 = 90.0;155.0
I did not make custom checks. I am using 2.6.21
Thanks for the help,

I did not address the failure to print problem. That
is probably not related to the .chk files but something
else. Can you print reorts?

HB,
Windows always calls *.chk files 'Recovered File
Fragments'
If the files are in the 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks' directory they
are not fragments but the files that you want, at
least for 2.6.x releases of GnuCash in Windows.
You can open them (carefully) with Wordpad and see
what they contain. If you made custom check
printing formats they may be somewhere else, I have
not tried that.

Hi,
After using gnucash for several years I decided
it was time to upgrade
from 2 to 3 a few months ago. Bad decision. If
it is not broken don't
fix it. The upgrade went smoothly with no
problem. Every function worked
both old and new. Until I tried to print a
check. At which point nothing
happened with the printer. After a 2 or 3
minutes I got a warning
message that my check file was a fragment. I
went into the system to
verify that and found that all the .chk files
were fragments. I tried to
reload new files but they kept being replaced
by the fragments.
Step 2: I went back gnucash 2 last stable
version on line. It reloaded
without a problem but still could not print
checks. Same problem.
Step 3: Loaded gnucash 2 on a laptop that had
never had it on it before.
Then took a saved file from 3 months before the
problem happened and
loaded it. Once again everything went fine
until I tried to print. Then
was presented the same problem of .chk file
fragments and not being able
to replace them.
Step 4: Using the laptop as my test bed, I
removed everything gnucash
from the hard drive. Search the C drive for any
thing left and removed
it as the administrator. Then did a search for
.chk and found 4 files
buried on the C drive - all fragments. I could
delete them but they
would come right back as soon as I restarted
the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am
getting tired of hand
writing all of my checks.
I am running Windows 10 on all of my computers
and they are all
completely up to date.
Thanks,
HB
