Automatic print date/time footer missing in macOS Calendar

Dear Apple Calendar Engineering and Product Teams,

I am submitting feedback regarding the removal of a previously available and highly practical feature in the macOS Calendar application.

Earlier versions of macOS allowed printed calendars to include an automatically generated footer showing the date and time the document was produced. In current versions of macOS, this functionality is no longer present in Calendar’s print workflow, and there is no setting in either the Calendar print layout screen or the system print dialog to enable it.

This change represents a regression in document traceability and version control. Many users rely on printed or PDF calendar outputs for travel planning, medical schedules, professional agendas, and archival records. Without an automatic print timestamp, there is no built-in way to distinguish between outdated and current versions of the same schedule. The only alternatives are manual annotation or filename workarounds, both of which introduce unnecessary friction and risk of error.

From a usability and records-management standpoint, an optional “Print date and time in footer” setting should be restored to Calendar’s print options, consistent with long-standing document conventions across other productivity software.

Please consider reinstating this capability in a future macOS update.

Sincerely,

Mallory Walker
