I am updating this thread to current April 24, 2010.
I use a Lenovo x61 tablet computer, Outlook 2007, OS Windows XP SP3, Norton
antivirus, and a Canon MX7600 multifunction printer. I have been unable to
print a monthly calendar with any color anywhere on it, nither for categories
or even for the general background, and Calendar Printing Assistant does not
help. Print Preview shows the calendar in black and white with gray shading
on the few non-existent days at beginning or end of minth, even with gray
shaing turned off. Would appreciate any suggestions

If you print to a PDF, do they show in color? If so, does the PDF print in
color?
