Why doesn't mail print the .ics details shown on screen?

I have colleagues using outlook and I of course use mail.
When they send me meeting requests I get a .ics file I can use in iCal.
The details of the .ics file (e.g. agenda) displays OK in mail.
But when I want to print the mail to take to the meeting, it just shows the .ics icon, nothing else.
Browsing the discussions, this was a problem back in 2007 in Tiger, but fixed there and subsequently.
Why have we got this "feature" back now in Lion? (The old fix - print from Get Info in iCal - doesn't work in Lion.  Must be the cheap leather finish)
Any cures?

Have you tried using the '''Print''' item at the bottom if that eBay page? <br />
Or is that what you are using?
Overall it isn't unusual for "print" to be a bit different than what shows on the "screen", that page may use @media for "screen" and for "print". The '''Print''' item on that page could be the difference, or the web browser might be following that code is you used the '''Print ''menu item or button''''' in Firefox. <br />
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
Typically, the '''@print''' CSS code is used to hide navigation menu's ''(can't "navigate" to a different web page from a sheet of paper)'' and maybe advertisements ''(can't "click" on an ad that is on paper)'' from being printed out so that only the text of an article is printed to paper.
Basically, it's probably not a fault with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page put there by the person who authored that page, or a standard CSS "style sheet" used by eBay.

  • Printing ical with details shown on screen

    I've not used ical much but we have a trip going to Europe and I entered all of our hotels phone #s, email addresses and other trip details into ical while on the "month" setting. All the details and #s show on the screen but when I go to print copies to family and friends to keep track of us, it only prints the first 7 or 8 words and the rest is not shown. I can't even "select all" to copy and drop into word. Any help? I'm a slug not a wiz so thanks for any words. The system is old and this may be the cause

    I too am having the same issue. I am trying to print out a monthly calendar like I see on the screen. At the most on any given day I have 4 lines of text. It shows on the screen but when I print it puts 3 little dots above that particular day to let me know there is more to it and refuses to print more than 3 items. I have tried with different page set ups and all I am doing is wasting ink. What's worse, is that there is PLENTY of room left on the paper. There is so much room between the month label and where the calendar starts there certainly has to be a way to adjust this. (I would hope!) Anyone please help! Thanks in advance.

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • Why doesn't Apple list the changes in iPhone updates?

    Why doesn't Apple list the changes included with each iteration of iPhone updates? They always post a detailed list of changes for all other major software updates. I wonder why the same is not true for the iPhone, leaving us all guessing and wondering...

    Just to add, Ansuz82 pointed out, Apple's track record is that they don't really ever give full published details about what their updates include in any of their products really. If the iPhone is your first product by Apple you may not be aware of this. To them, saying Bug Fixes is enough. If they publicly add more info, it means they really wanted to get that point out. eg: the 1.1.1 mainly just talked about iTunes WiFi store. 1.1.2 mainly talked about the Tiff exploit fixed and keyboard updates for languages. However, with all, a lot more does get changed than just the key points mentioned. And by a lot, I don't mean a lot that you will see. Have to remember, they are still ironing out the OS for the iPhone. A lot of changes to them is just cleaning up and fixing known bugs that many of us as users may not even know exisit (though we see the outcome of them when apps colide and crash each other).

  • Why can't i print the e-book that i purchased?

    why can't i print the e-book that i purchased?

    The print permission might not be available for that book. In Library mode, right click on the book and select Item Info. Verify whether book had print permission.
    These permissions are set at the server level by the distributor.

  • HPOfficeje​t Pro 8600 does not print the page as shown in WORD. I am using win 7, 32-bit OS.

    HPOfficejet Pro 8600 does not print the page as shown in WORD. I am using win 7, 32-bit OS. How do I fix this?

    Sounds like the table is to large to fit on a single page. Have you tried using the "Shrink to Page" option in the Print Preview? Depending on your version of Word, my attached picture may not be 100% similar but it should be enough to give you an idea. Here is the option inside the print preview menu:

  • Why doesn't reflection reveal the clone() method in arrays?

    I was surprised to discover that the following code does not reveal the method "clone()", even though you can call "clone()" on an Object[]. Can anyone explain why this is? I was hoping to use the Reflect API to clone an arbitrary object if it was Cloneable, and to throw an Exception otherwise. How can I do this?
    import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    public class Test {
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              Object x;
              //pick a class
              x = new Object[] {};
              //is it Cloneable?
              System.out.print("The class " + x.getClass().getCanonicalName() + " is ");
              if(!(x instanceof Cloneable)) System.out.print("NOT ");
              System.out.println("Cloneable");
              System.out.println("-------");
              //what methods are available?
              Method[] meths = x.getClass().getMethods();
              for(Method m : meths) {
                   System.out.println(m.getName());
              System.out.println("-------");
    }

    Just to clarify. I know that clone() is protected in Object, but it is certainly a public method in array objects such as int[], float[], Object[] etc. Test: call clone() on any of these objects! Also, I realize that Cloneable does not itself guarantee the method clone(). Nevertheless, if you take a regular Cloneable object, such as a String, then typically, if you ran myObject.getClass().getMethods() on that object, you'd find the method clone() in the resulting list. i.e., that Class has overwritten Object's protected clone() method with a public clone() method. So since int[], float[] and all the rest have a clearly public clone() method, then why doesn't myFloatArray.getClass().getMethods() show me a method called "clone"? I guess it would have to have something to do with the fact that arrays are funny kinds of classes that are not properly handled by the Reflection API, but is it on purpose that clone() isn't available?

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • How to print the receipt details both on the console and on receipt

    Hi All
    In ORPOS, Can anybody know how to print the sale transaction details on receipt and console as well
    After configuring with printer we can print only on receipt, if we want both on receipt and console as well
    Appreciate your suggestions and ideas
    Regards
    Ramakrishna

    Hi Rama
    This would not be any configuration change
    You can print receipt in both pinter and console by adding a sysout just before string is sent for printing

  • Why doesn't Flash have the option to publish to .flv?

    Why doesn't Flash or Adobe Media Encoder have the option to publish or covert .swf to .flv?
    Any suggestions on free .swf to .flv coverters?

    Thanks, kowboy.  I've just seen a few of those video conversion tools that specifically advertise .swf to .flv conversion.  They may degrade the quality and make certain features not work just like when you convert to .avi.  I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of those tools.
    I know this is a fairly odd situation.  Both myself and the other flash developer advised that they not use Flash to create 5 min plus videos and then wrap them in .flv flash players.

  • Why won't preview print the actual size of the photo?

    Why can't I print directly from Photoshop instead of having to print through preview? I believe I've checked the proper settings in preview preference but it keeps scaling my photos.

    Rusty, you always get a preview before printing whether from Preview.app or from PS.
    This is the dialogue I get printing from within PS....
    and this is the one I get printing through preview...
    I'm not sure what your issue is with printing from PS, perhaps try on the Adobe forums?

  • I cannot print the device details.

    I have a wrt160n wireless router.
    When I view the device details and try to print the info my HP3650 printer will not print the request.
    I have a Sony viao desktop PC that is hardwired to the router and the HP3650 is USB connected to the viao.
    The printer works with all other requests, but not with the print request from the linksys easylink advisor.

    You can't print the details just giving a simple print request as it is a software...Open the linksys easylink advisor press the Print Screen on your Keyboard and open MS Paint and paste it there and give the Print request...It will print...

  • Why doesn't Mozilla fix the Yahoo problem - it is a hacking issue?

    Dozens of people have strongly complained about Yahoo inserting itself in Firefox and hiding itself so it cannot be removed. This has been going on for at least a month.
    Why doesn't Mozilla do something to prevent Yahoo from HACKING into Firefox.? It is an obvious attempt to pre-empt people's browser of choice. Surely there is someone in the Mozilla group who can either alter the code to block Yahoo or at least come up with a solution that lets the average user remove the stupid Yahoo software.
    Thanks

    What a pathetic joke - the instructions to remove the unwanted Yahoo search engine tell you to open up the search engine list and remove Yahoo. BUT YAHOO IS NOT DISPLAYED IT IS HIDDEN AND CANNOT BE REMOVED.
    That horrible fact is what is so annoying. It is willfully hidden by either Mozilla or Yahoo forcing it down the throats of people who do not want it!!
    And a search on one's entire system does not turn up any reference to Yahoo.
    ONE MORE TIME, THIS IS MY COMPUTER NOT MOZILLA'S OR YAHOO'S.
    Please do what you know perfectly well is the right thing to do and provide a viable method for users to get rid of Yahoo.
    Why, Alice, can't you specifically answer my questions instead of spouting the drivel about providing features for a broad range of customers. There are hundreds if not thousands of user that are not happy about this stupid problem.
