What I want to do is print a calendar of a 4 week period that spans across 2 months.

In the print options of iCal I set the date range that I want, but it prints two pages with one full month on each.

Is there a way to print just the 4 weeks I'm interested in.

Thanks,

J.

Are you trying this in Week view or Month view?

Using month view. Just tried week view and it just gave me a single week printout.

I'm trying to get a 4 week grid of days covering the last two weeks of Feba nd the first two weeks of march.

Any help much appreciated.

Hmm. Not sure if it can be done.
Time to send feedback to Apple (be nice & helpful about it).

Go to week view. Choose Filerint. There will be a popup menu with options for various print settings and such. Select iCal from that menu. Choose the date range you want and click Print (or Preview if you want to see what it will look like before you waste paper/ink on it).

Does that give you what you want?

Nope, in week view it gives a single week starting with the day I select on the drop down box, but nothing beyond that week.

It will only display 1 week at a time on screen, but you can have it print as many weeks as you want.

If you print, then it prints a separate week on each page. I'm trying to get 4 or 5 weeks on a single page.

I thought there was a plug-in going around that could do this; however, I can't seem to find it anymore...

You can arrange several pages to fit on one sheet of paper when you print. In the Print... dialog box, go to the Layout section and increase Pages per Sheet.

i'm resurrecting this thread because I spent an hour on VersionTracker unsuccessfully looking for a (freeeware) app that will do exactly what the OP wants: I want to print a range of weeks that spans 2 months, but have it on one page. I also tried Entourage and iCal with no luck. Any suggestions?

As the original poster, I hope that someone can find something new that will help with this. In the end I resorted to paper and scissors and a photocopy, which is not the way you should have to do things for something that should be relatively simple.

Good luck, I'll monitor this one.

If you read through the above posts, the short answer is "no" -- iCal cannot currently do this.

Several possible workarounds are suggested above, but no new version of iCal has been released, and so there's not really anything new to suggest. Keep sending Apple feedback.
