Ical print problem-spinning wheel

Question

I'm having trouble printing with iCal. In the past, I've been able to print in all of the views except "list" view, but now I can't print in any of them. When I try, I get a spinning wheel as the computer tries to display the preview of the document in the left column.
Should I try to reinstall iCal? If so, I'm not sure how to do that. I have the original discs (OS 10.3.3) and the tiger upgrade.
Can I reinstall just the one app (iCal) from the Tiger upgrade?
If I reinstall from the 10.3.3 disks, won't I be stuck with an earlier version of iCal?
Will I lose my calendars if I reinstall?
I'd appreciate some help.

Answer 1

The spinning wheel will spin until a connection is made to the server. For example, I can have the correct url (IP address) entered for this calendar on a local-net and when I leave the local-net it will spin if I make a change to an event on this calendar until it can connect (next time I join the local-net).
It will also continue to spin after initial set up if the wrong url (or authentication) is entered. In my case, the url that I entered was not a fully qualified domain name (the DNS record was not correct). After I corrected this it was a port issue. The port on the server for iCal was not open. Also, make sure that you have the port (8008) tacked onto the url. Also make sure that you have the full path to the calendar in the url (ie. http://your.domain.com:8008/principals/users/username/). Also make sure that authentication is correctly set up and matches the authentication setting of the ical server.
