Printing category colours in Outlook Calendar
Hi
I use category colours in my calendar and until I upgraded to outlook 2007 was able to print out my daily and weekly calendars with all my different appointments and events in colour on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer. Now I've upgraded to Outlook 2007 the calendars don't print in colour, nor do they indicate whether an appointment is "Busy" time or free. It's not that the printer isn't getting the colours, nor is it that the categories have somehow been lost, because in the bottom right of each blank rectangle for the appointment is a little square showing that it's a recurring appt, or that it has more than one category colour, and they are in colour. I'd like to be able to blame the printer, but nothing's change there except that it's now connected to Outlook 2007. Thanks in advance |

Printing category colours in Outlook Calendar
There is a problem with Outlook 2007's category shades and the HP color
management system. I'm not aware of a workaround, other than using the calendar printing assistant or a new printer.

Printing category colours in Outlook Calendar
So are you saying that the problem is with HP? When it wasn't there with
Outlook 2003? "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: There is a problem with Outlook 2007's category shades and the HP color management system.

Printing category colours in Outlook Calendar
And further to that, when I take my laptop to work and connect it to the HP
Laserjet 1022 it works fine, apart from the obvious...the laserjet is a black and white printer - but it is printing the blocks of what would be colour in various grey shades, which suggests that the driver and printer are handling the colour correctly.

Printing category colours in Outlook Calendar
I may have fixed this myself - I changed my User Access Control from High to
Medium/default and lo and behold I get colours again. Seems a bit bizarre that something apparently unconnected works like that. "SarahF" wrote: So are you saying that the problem is with HP?
