Printing in Portrait from iCal

This is a problem in iCal - you can't print from iCal in portrait mode - that's really lame Apple.
I found a work around for the issue but why hasn't Apple fixed this??? I expect this kind of behavior from Microsoft but not from Apple, I should not have to go thru this multi step process to simply print my calendars in portrait mode. For almost two years there has been no fix from Apple, does Apple want users to not use iCal and use Entourage instead???? This needs to be fixed in Tiger and Leopard. Shame on you Apple.
Here's the workaround posted by ErikW from 2005:

I found the following page. It works, but there are no page margins, so if you're 3-hole punching you're out of luck.

Print event list from iCal

I manage different calendars, private, work, hobby etc.
Now, I would like to print a list of upcoming events from one of those calendars.
My iPhone has a "list" option that does exactly what I want, but I can't print that.
I have tried File/Print selecting only the wanted calendar and a date span, but I don't get the expected result.
iCal will print ALL the days within the time span, including dates with no entry. I would like to see only a list with events...
Is this possible in iCal?

The only way I have found takes a few steps, but it is not too complex.
- It requires the desired events to have a common set of characters in each event so the Search function will pull them out together (e.g., xxx, day, class, etc.).
- These common characters can be in the main event text box at the top of the event, or they can be anywhere in the event (in the location field, in the note section of the event at the bottom, etc.)
- Next, be sure the Calendar is selected on which these events are listed (top left corner click on Calendars and put check in the appropriate box(es).
- Next, click in the Search box in the top right of the main Calendar window and type the common characters set you entered in all the events (e.g., day).
- This opens a window pane at the bottom of the Calendar window. To make the window pane larger click on the top of the window pane and drag it towards the top of the screen.
- In the window pane is a list of all the events that meet your search criteria.
- Click on all the events you want to print (<shift>mouse click on a range and <command>mouse click work here)
- Select print Calendar (File/Print, <cmd>P, ...)
- In the print window, first select or unselect the Calendars to print (so only the desired Calendar keys print)
- Next, in print window, at top in View, select "Selected Events"
- Select the print options you want
- Click on Continue, with takes you to the Printer window, and select the print and click Print (or PDF)
Done!
I believe this is much harder than it should be. I haven't yet found a 3rd party app that makes this any easier.

ICal prints in portrait view . .

Hi, I've recently installed leopard on my macbook pro that I purchased a year ago. I've just tried to print a weekly calendar and it is printing in portrait mode so half of the page is getting cut off on the side. I don't know how to go about fixing this problem.
Any help is appreciated!

A similar issue affects our Phaser 7300. We attempt to print landscape from iCal and it chops off the edge - the calendar is moved about an inch too far to fit onto the paper. I've tried making a PDF as well and it does the same thing printing via Preview. Even if I select portrait. However it prints fine to our Samsung B/W. Both printers are networked. And in every instance it appears fine in the print preview. I've also tried printing the PDF from Acrobat and it does the same thing. Whatever the problem is, it is originating in iCal.

Printing a year planner from ical

is it possable to print a sasco style calander from ical within lion .it apears to be able to print a silly colourd yellow to red chart showing how many events on a day but no descriptions i would love it to print it out in a month by month in a year planner style and send it to my large format printer.can this be done
thanks

Hello Karin,
your second approach is the one I would also choose.
just make sure to set the control parameters accordingly (i.e. when calling the actual smartform, not when retrieving the name):
1st smartform: control_parameters-no_open = space
control_parameters-no_close = abap_true
2nd smartform: control_parameters-no_open = abap_true
control_parameters-no_close = space.
This way, both forms will be in one spool request and you will not get the popup for the second one (provided, that's what you want).
Kind regards
Matthias

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

I totally agree. I just wasted .5 hrs trying to figure out how to manipulate and sync the reminders with the iCAl. Thanks for posting this thread online, I can stop wasting my time now. Apple, please change it back or make these apps sync.
Side note. I was creating my to do list and found the ability to asign a date by draging the task to the calendar in the bottom right. Then I discovered that I can drag that same reminder/to-do task into iCal and it will be created as an event. Would be great if I could simply sync the reminders to iCal instead of draging them over though. Then when I make the change in one the other can update with the next sync. This also prevents human error if I drag and drop the reminder onto the wrong date in iCal.

How can I Print the next 4 or 5 weeks from iCal in month view (not simply complete months)

How can I Print the next 4 or 5 weeks from iCal in month view (not simply complete months).
I'd like to print the next (up an coming) weeks of my calendar from iCal in month view - The idea is to get this information on 1 sheet of A4.. just like the month view.. but as far as i can see the month view only gives you current or next complete months.. The ONLY time this give me the view I want is in the first week of any given month.. the rest of the month part of the print is in the past and not enough of the up and coming weeks are shown?
I can believe the app won't allow you to do this .. am I missing an easy fix.. or has it been rectified in Yosemite .. I'm using mavericks 10.9.5.
Thanks

Hope this helps.

How can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

HHow can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

Hi EScott,
This is an easy fix. You indicate that you get these emails just fine on your desktop, so they are not getting lost. They are just not making it to your iPhone or iPad. This tells me that you need to change the preferences of the accounts on your desktop machine. Each account will have a setting for what to do with mail on the server after you have checked it. The choices are to leave on the server, or to delete it.
If you have it set to delete, it won't be there when you later go check your mail from your mobile device. Most of the people I see post here with email issues have the opposite problem from you. They check their email from the phone during the day, then can't get it on the desktop later. It sounds like your iPhone and iPad are already set to leave on server.
All you have to do is go into your mail client on the desktop and in the individual preferences for each account change this setting. You may also want to check how you have deleted mail set up. It also can be set to be removed immediately, at a later time (like a week, month), or never. If you have it set to delete it won't be in your trash folder.
Good luck.

Printing from iCal with total time

Is there a way when printing from iCal to show the total time that an event took place for? IE: If I print a day it will show at what time the event started and not when it ended. Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to get it to print the total time an event took? I say event but it could be a meeting as well.
Thanks

Can you be more specific?

How to print portrait from acrobat 11, win 8

I am using win 8 on a HP laserjet P1102W printer and only on Acrobat 11 am unable to print in portrait form regardless of file. I have no problems with other software regarding this.
Any help appreciated
pcguy177

As someone with over 20 years experience I naturally have tried switching the orientation to Portrait and every other way known, including landscape which didn't do anything different. I do desktop publishing so I have used many types of printers and software's none have caused this problem. I don't have this problem with any other software including Office, Photoshop, or even right off the web. Only Adobe Acrobat 11 with Win 8 has caused this. I wouldn't have gotten Win 8 but it came with my laptop. My desktop is old and not wireless so I have no intention of running wires around the house when my laptop does everything else well. I know XP probably would work without any problems but again not into the trouble to hook it up. It's so old that I can't even use a wireless USB transmitter because they require at least 2.0 USB to work, already tried it.
Thanks for the thought though. If you can think of anything else you never know what might work. I am thinking of upgrading to 8.1 but have not heard good things about it so not rushing into that direction quit yet.
Oh yea unable means not able to do a specific thing, in this case printing portrait printing or normal for most people, this is usually the default settings of most printers.

How do I print monthly calendars in iCal 5 with location?

Hello,
Our office uses iCal to manage our schedule. I cannot get a monthly printout from iCal that displays location information i.e. information entered as location on iCal. Previously on our windows machines we had to use Outlook Calendar Assistant for this (which I still can't understand because this seems to be a very trivial problem, at least to me). The printouts are demanded by some older employees that absolutely need paper versions.
Can I export an iCal file to another program to print my calendar the way I need it? Can I do it from iCal directly? Outlook 2011 isn't an option at the moment because it does not sync with Google Calendars yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

With pleasure!
Great to know it worked for you

How can I print my calendar from I-Cloud?

If you computer is syncing calendars with iCloud, you can print it from your computer's calendar program (such as Outlook or Mac iCal/Calendar). Otherwise, you'll have to take a screenshot of it on icloud.com and print the image.

Print Current Date on iCal Printed Output

My wife likes to print out her weekly calendar from iCal (which she sync's with her iPhone). It would be very useful if iCal could place "the dated printed" on the output hard copy. This would prevent outdated versions of the calendar from getting confused with the latest version printed. I just have not been able to figure out how to get this accomplished with iCal. I'm probably just overlooking something obvious. Help, please!

Is there a way to set the dock icon to update in Panther.

I can no longer print tv listings from sign on san diego, but I still can with IE.

I used to be able to print TV Listings from SignOnSanDiego, but since updating from Adobe Reader 8 to X, I can't just click on the Print tab, but have to click File/Print, which doesn't provide as good a print layout. I find I can still click the Print tab successfully using IE.
Also when I try to print an email in juno, the default is now landscape rather than portrait, yet when I tried IE, it still came out portrait.
Don't get me wrong, I still prefer Firefox. I just wish I could get it back to the way it was a week ago.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:
1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click Show details to see all available settings.
Note: If you use Adobe Reader, click teh button to launc the system print dialog.
3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.
