Six columns is the worksheet
The traditional accounting worksheet runs three pairs of debit and credit columns: unadjusted trial balance, adjustments, and adjusted trial balance. Six money columns is exactly that, which is why six-column pads existed as a distinct product alongside two- and four-column ones. Ten- and twelve-column sheets extend the same idea outward to the income statement and the balance sheet.
Cents dividers earn their keep
The narrow rule before the last two digits of each column keeps the cents aligned without you thinking about it, and that is the entire reason columnar paper looks the way it does. Handwritten figures wander; a printed divider means a column can be added down reliably. Transposition errors are the hardest arithmetic mistakes to find after the fact, and alignment is what prevents most of them.
Still useful in a spreadsheet world
Nobody keeps books on paper any more, but working a problem by hand is still how accounting is taught, and it is still how a stubborn reconciliation gets solved. A sheet with the columns already ruled removes the setup and leaves the thinking — the same argument that keeps graph paper useful in a world that has plotting software.
Printing it accurately
This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100% — not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
