We currently do handwritten cheques. When I opened Banking then Write Cheques, the cheque said "No. To Print". I could not find a way to get the cheque number to show. The solution was to uncheck the "Print Later" box. For QuickBooks Pro (desktop), this box is found in the ribbon on the tab called "Main". I myself always close this ribbon because it takes space that I need to work on the cheque, so I had to open the ribbon (go to the right side and click the down arrow), then I unchecked the "Print Later" box. The cheque number now shows. (Aside, the symbol below that downward arrow maximizes your work area! So glad I discovered that!)
