The problem is that when you print cheques, you use a special paper/preprinted form. This is why is recommended to design your report to be easy to change (you know, this cheques-forms may change...). Also, it's almost impossible to print correctly when you may have an undetermined number of pages for orders (the cheques have usually a serial number and you can't skip numbers, etc...)

So, you must have a fixed form length. If the cheque is at the bottom of the page, the page footer is perfect. If the cheque is at the top, use the page header, but the report is not so simple in this case.

Good you solved it!
