Please fix Outlook printing "bug"

Outlook 2003 seems to have a printing bug ... specifically when you print the
calendar in the "monthly" view. Previous versions of Outlook would print the
"monthly" style with "all-day" appointments being shaded or in "reverse type"
and regular appointments not shaded. In Outlook 2003, just the opposite is
true. It shades the regular appointments, and not the "all-day" events. It
is much better the other way. There is no fix for this. The only thing you
can do is eliminate shading altogether - not really a fix. I paid for a
service call to see if I was missing something and the tech support had to
refund my money because they could not find a fix. They said I should send
you this note.

I hope you fix this so the Monthly Style printout prints the way it used to,
and the way it should. Thanks.

My outlook prints everything in black on white and shades are used for time
periods and items with labels only - they are printed in color. This is
likely the reason for the change BTW. All day items have a border if not
assigned a color label, but they are all black on white, not white text with
black background.

Some printing bugs are fixed in SP2 (duplex calendar printing is one) and
it's possible this is fixed also. SP2 should be available for the public
within the next couple of months or so.

Is there a fix to the calendar printing problem? When I look at a Print
Preview, it even shows me the labels in color on the calendar, but when I go
to print, I still don't get the labels in color. Any suggestions?

I am having this problem as well and have no options for third part calendar
applications.

I am sure a lot of customers would like to be able to print their calendars
with all items in color if they wish. Could a MVP take another look at this
issue as SP2 has not fixed it?

Thank you.
