Reminders Printing Wrong Assignment

I'm using Reminders (Version 7.0 (2460)) on an old iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) running macOS Monterey (12.1)


The printing of who is assigned to a Reminder is different from what shows on the screen. In the following examples, all assigned Reminders are assigned to me.


Here's a what a Reminder looks like in the application window:






But if I print this Reminder, the assignment information is inconsistent and refers to a Contact for whom the Reminder is not even shared, much less assigned:






Is this a known bug?


Is there a workaround to print a correct report?


Thank you for your help.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.1

The problem is that the wrong Contact was associated with "me" because somehow the email address that I use for my AppleID was on multiple contacts (by accident).


I deleted the Contact for Marvin Windows and Doors and magically my icon was corrected. Unfortunately, this Contact deletion also deleted the "me" assignment for almost all my Reminders. So, now I have to go back and re-assign myself as responsible for these Reminders.


This is NOT how Reminders should associate assignments with a Contact. It shouldn't use just ANY Card that matches MY email address! Rather, it should use the Card that I've designated as MY Card (Contacts: Card → Make This My Card).
