I've found that NEBS computer forms (800-225-9540) is very responsive
to the needs of lasers.  About two years ago I ordered their regular
pin feed checks with stub (about 8.5 by 6) knowing that I'd have to rip
the pin feed holes off and burst each check to use them with the laser
printer.  I mentioned the lack of laser check availablity to them in
a short note.  Much to my surprise, the next catalog they sent had
the exact checks I ordered available without pin feed holes!

They may be willing to do the same for other forms as well.

BTW, I just recently placed my first order for the holeless checks;
it took two years to use up the first order.
