Printing Your Calendars in Sharepoint

Calendar printouts can be useful when people are collaborating to install major pieces of equipment across multiple departments. Apart from anything else, having a large, visible calendar is valuable for ticking off the days until your health and safety violations are expected to spike. It has been said that people also like to use them to trace when department deadlines are coming up, or vacation days, and not just when Matt will come back from his dreadful skyjack injury. Large-format, public calendars! The trees are dying for something worthwhile, something really core to the life and work of the business. So, amid this excitement, let us address physical printouts of calendars in Sharepoint 2010.

How To Print A Calendar In Sharepoint 2010

1. Receive complaint from department for whom you cannot remember activating calendar that calendars are printing funny.
2. Reflect that you never activated any kind of printing functionality in Sharepoint.
3. And that you have never heard of any way to print calendars, or anyone trying this before, because what is this, 1997, paperless office, mobile devices, dynamic updates.
4. Get over yourself.
5. Gnaw something.
6. Wonder whether Sharepoint even supports printing functionality.
• Optional: Sinking feeling.
7. Do some research with Herr Google. 
• Do not use Herr DuckDuckGo, that is a curiosity engine. You want answers, not ideology.
8. Find out Sharepoint indeed does not support printing list views out of the box, hollow laugh, functionality costs extra.
9. Google until you find a free version of a thing to let you print a calendar.
10. Download the appropriate button from Codeplex.
11. Deploy your sandboxed Codeplex solution, which does... a thing. Not the correct thing! Whatever.
12. Decompile the thing in order to sort out why it isn't printing anything, even after the job spools.
• This may legitimately be something weird to do with your printer.
• It has always hated you and all people.
• Printers are the reason why we don't want a singularity, actually.
• Printers and AT&T.
• Even in Canada.
13. There really isn't any good reason. Perhaps there is a problem with the phase of the moon.
14. Third party vendors. That's how we do.
