I suggest that you look at Deluxe Checks.  They make a lot of checks for
many banks around the country.  I have one of their catalogues at home and
they seem to offer imprinted checks which are compatible with nearly every
money management software package available.

Note, however, that for some unexplained reason, these checks are in fact
rather expensive.  You won't find the same cheap price for
computer-printable checks that you get for the 200 or so checks you buy
every year at your bank.

Further note:  If the folks who write Quicken are worth their marketing
salt, (and they are), you'll get sales pitches for yearly updates.  This
service will probably give you another opportunity to buy more razor
blades (ie a new release every year).  Then perhaps you won't feel so bad 
about spending $80 for 500 checks....
