For QuickBooks, you have two processes. One is the Entry, which means you are creating a transaction. Secondarily, it is To Be Printed, or Not. Not, would be the status you use because it is an ACH, EFT, or handwritten, or other type of "I am just making entries and don't need to print." To Print is the status to use when you want to create a transaction and also Print it on check stock instead of handwriting it.

The Transaction Type you would be creating is Write Check or Pay bills or creating Paychecks, for Printing.

QB products are Business tools. You might like Quicken or Mint or a similar personal financial management for Personal.
