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.
