I don't know whether they support PostScript though. The last time I looked at this (several years ago, when I worked for a bank), the base cost was about $10,000, which probably makes it not worthwhile for the average user :-). By the way, there are various ABA regulations on the printing quality and the paper that the check is printed on (ordinary 20lb bond WON'T do). John Lister.
