Printing the day's schedule in iCal

Since MacHome doesn't post all of its magazine's monthly content to the web, I'm archiving for my own use this hint from Editor at Large Chris McVeigh, found in the Q&A section of the February 2006 issue.

You can however print an entire day's schedule, complete with any notes you may have added to the event. Choose View > Go to Date and enter the date you want, or to see the current day's events, choose View > Go to Today. Now choose View > Day View to see only that day. Finally, choose File > Print.

You'll see a preview of the print job, which lists appointments along a timeline at the left and the details of these appointments in a separate column at the right. This is a bit awkward, though. In the Print window, choose View > List. You'll see that the events are now listed one after another (there is no timeline) and include the event details. Click Continue and then click Print. In a few seconds you'll have a printed copy of your appointments and notes.
