How to print list of calendar events?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to print a list of events for a specific calendar that only lists scheduled events, not days with nothing scheduled.
After a time consuming process of delselecting all calendars I DON'T want on the list, selecting the time frame (4 months) and that I want to print a list, the result includes every day of the months and if there isn't something scheculed, it says "no scheduled event." 
However, this takes up space and is distracting.  I just want a list of dates that have an event scheduled.  Does this make sense?
Also, does it make sense that there is a delay each time I de-select a calendar?  The colorful pinwheel somes on and spins for a few minutes before letting me de-select the next calendar.
I am working on a Mac Book Pro, OS 10.9.1.
Thanks!
Anne

That's not from Calendar, it's from Automator.
Open Automator (in Applications Folder), Select Application (then once saved, you can just click the App to run a 4 month summary)
In the left pane of Automator, you'll see the Calendar Actions, drag to the right pane, as follows:
This is the workflow you want:
1. Get Specified Calendar Items
2. Filter Calendar Events
3. Event Summary
4. New Text File
The report will look like this (I used my Holidays calendar):
TOTAL EVENTS: 12
EVENT 1 OF 12
Summary:   Daylight Saving Time
Status:        none
Date:          03/09/14 to 03/10/14
Time:          2:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM
EVENT 2 OF 12
Summary:   Saint Patrick’s Day
Status:        none
Date:           03/17/14 to 03/18/14
Time:          12:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM
EVENT 3 OF 12
Summary:   Palm Sunday
Status:        none
Date:           04/13/14 to 04/14/14
Time:          12:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM
EVENT 4 OF 12
Summary:   Passover
Status:        none
Date:          04/15/14 to 04/16/14
Time:          2:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 AM
etc....
