Pros
easy to find
Cons
I feel that I may have been the victim of a deliberate bait and switch engineered by HalfPriceSoft.com. The wording for the hyperlink to order "ezCheckPrinting: Business Check Printing software for Windows, Single-user Version" states that it doesn't import data from QuickBooks but says nothing about Quicken leaving the impression by inference that QuickBooks is an exception and that it does import data ONLY from Quicken.
IT DOES NOT.
I had to pay another $40 to print checks from Quicken. The explanation is hidden at the end of the instructions on page http://www.halfpricesoft.com/quicken-check-printing/print-quicken-checks.asp
Summary
By ambiguous wording, deliberately or inadvertently the impression given is that "ezCheckPrinting: Business Check Printing software for Windows, Single-user Version" is a complete package to print checks from Quicken.
It isn't.
HalfPriceSoft is advertising a misleading description of its software's features.
Be careful.

Pros
Easy to set up if you don't change fonts, load pictures etc. Would have been good for what I needed if it just disclosed that you cannot print blank checks on the trial version without the word TRIAL all over them
Cons
Doesn't tell you that it is going to print "TRIAL" on the blank checks. I would have been fine if they had disclosed this. But they did not, so I spent the time with set up and then used my check stock paper. Complete waste of that check stock. BIG SHAME. I have limited paper left. So this wasted all my goodwill with this company. I will not be buying afterall since I've now wasted the paper I had left.
Summary
Don't try unless you are willing to buy without trying.
I wasted check stock on the trial version.
Uninstalling NOW!

Pros
It's neat to be able to design your own checks, and this program sort of allows you to do that, but...
Cons
Don't get this program if you are in a hurry (like need your checks created in 3 days or less). This is the buggiest program I have ever encountered. If you try to be creative and change fonts to something like Helvetica (crazy, I know, you are going to get big RED X errors. Also, as you go from edit to edit in the layout page, your fonts will change to the last option you selected. For instance, say the bank info is Tahoma bold 8, and you want to change the location of the company info. When you click on company info, the font will change to that of the bank info that you just edited. You're constantly chasing your tail with this program. It's taken my literally 3 days to get to a point where I feel I'm close to getting what I want, but I have to keep taking "frustration breaks" to avoid smashing the keyboard over the monitor.
Summary
Since I have no basis to measure this program against, it may be the best for the price, but it is very frustrating to work with. I paid $29 for it, but if $39 or $50 would get me something that is less buggy, I would buy it. If this were free, I would have already moved on, but this is what I bought and it's all I could afford, so I'm suffering through it.

Pros
Works well as a stand alone register & check writer.
Cons
Didn't use it much as it was not for personal checks. Support is slow. Need was past before support was provided.
Summary
Description did not state that this was strictly for business check writing. Could not use it with my prepurchased blank personal checks.

Now Ive heard tons of well-deserving negative reviews on software products but this one has to be the most lame of them all!!! Can't help but notice ya posted this review on New Year's Day... are you sure that you were sober when ya wrote this... or did that big ball at Times Square drop on your head??!! Get real !!! Of course checkprinting software is for business applications. There are just a few things that should be a dead giveaway.. for one, the fact that it clearly outlines the required "COMPUTER check paper!!!" Good for you that support didn't come through before you gave up... else, when you would've explained to some likely, underpaid, tech support agent that their software didnt work because you were stuffing your personal check singles in the printer, or perhaps trying to produce "legal" personal checks requiring special micro-encoding on everyday copy paper.. you would have really felt stupid. God-forbid, you succeed & present one for payment.. you'd be behind bars!
Pros
You should download it
Cons
Not one thing.
Summary
Software is really easy to use i like it allot. I went to sample's today and pick up 900 check paper for $20. Before you start printing check out print a test checks of on copying paper first. I had to adjust everything down a little bit. That was easy to do. You never use a check book anymore to pay your bills. Then you can print out your check register you don't even have to write it down.

Pros
It is very straight-forward, easy-to-use and flexiable. And it can be FREE even for the regular version. I got it free by checking out though TrialPay. And I also got free check paper.
Cons
It just support business check in US. If you need to print personal check, you need to use ezCheckpersonal.
Summary
It can print pre-printed blank checks that I can fill in later manually. I like this feature. I never need to order checks from my bank any more.

Pros
Was easy to use and learn. Very straightforward. probably uses very little resources.
Cons
The software, by default, places the memo line and the signature line BELOW the line that says "reserved for banking code only below this line" on their own check alignment page. To correct this, you have to get the paid version. Very sneaky.
Summary
It was advertised as free, and touted all these cool features. Most of which are NOT available in the free version.
