Hi Diane and Julie,
So glad you are both responding because I am still having trouble. I
know
it is not a problem with the printer too because the all day events
print
the
whole day in a bright beautiful color. Plus, the little recurring
symbol
in
the bottom right of each appointment in also printed in color. Each
appointment will not print in the appropriate or any color. In Print
Preview, it looks perfect all the colors are there. I am using an HP
PSC
2210
printer, have downloaded the Printing Assistant 2007, and am using
Microsoft
Outlook 2007.
I have to say there was a two day stretch where it printed just fine.
I
have no idea why. I did not make any changes before it happened or
before
it
stopped.
Thanks, Tracy

Diane,
I have tried it with a different printer and get the same results.
Oddly
enough, the all-day events (such as birthdays) and the multi-day
events
do
show up in color - black text highlighted in pink.
It seems odd to me that Microsoft doesn't make it a standard feature
to
be
able to print out a monthly calendar (whether on one or two pages)
that
keeps
the color categories AND is able to print all items for a particular
day.
If
I just choose to print a regular month calendar, the colors come out
correctly, but not everything shows up because there are too many
items
on
certain days. Ideally, it should either automatically make the font
smaller
to make it all fit, or adjust the row height of the days to
accommodate
all
the items (which could bring it to a second page.)
I hope Microsoft is listening...
Thanks,
Julie
:
The CPA uses the color of the calendar in the left bar, not color
categories. If you add 3 calendars or task folders, the items will
be
colored to match the calendar color. Even so, my HP can't print any
colors
from the CPA - not even the dates or the dots that mark the
calendar.
At
least there is a border around the all day events - that's more than
I
get
on the HP when I print from Outlook. Will this ever be changed so
that
calendars are identified by the colored dots and events use their
category
colors? I have no idea. It depends on how many people use the CPA
and
request the feature.
Do you have another printer (not an HP) to test? I do. It works as
expected
on my Oki. It's all B&W on my HP 990c. It's my (unconfirmed)
opinion
that
the shading used for the color categories is too light and can't be
rendered
on the HP printers. It happens with shaded cells in Excel too.
