Q: Print event list from iCal

Aug 21, 2012 11:24 AMby BillW,The only way I have found takes a few steps, but it is not too complex.
- It requires the desired events to have a common set of characters in each event so the Search function will pull them out together (e.g., xxx, day, class, etc.).
- These common characters can be in the main event text box at the top of the event, or they can be anywhere in the event (in the location field, in the note section of the event at the bottom, etc.)
- Next, be sure the Calendar is selected on which these events are listed (top left corner click on Calendars and put check in the appropriate box(es).
- Next, click in the Search box in the top right of the main Calendar window and type the common characters set you entered in all the events (e.g., day).
- This opens a window pane at the bottom of the Calendar window. To make the window pane larger click on the top of the window pane and drag it towards the top of the screen.
- In the window pane is a list of all the events that meet your search criteria.
- Click on all the events you want to print (<shift>mouse click on a range and <command>mouse click work here)
- Select print Calendar (File/Print, <cmd>P, ...)
- In the print window, first select or unselect the Calendars to print (so only the desired Calendar keys print)
- Next, in print window, at top in View, select "Selected Events"
- Select the print options you want
- Click on Continue, with takes you to the Printer window, and select the print and click Print (or PDF)
Done!
I believe this is much harder than it should be. I haven't yet found a 3rd party app that makes this any easier.

I am using Version 8.0 of iCal.
1) Uncheck every calendar other than the one you want to print events from.
2) Enter "" in the search box. A list of all the events in that calendar will appear along the right side of your calendar window. (Alternatively, you can enter a specific search term if you want to narrow it down.)
3) Choose the specific events to be printed by Control+Clicking on each of them (while holding down the Control/Command button), OR you can choose all of the events in the list by pressing the Shift key and clicking the first and last events. The selected events will be highlighted/bolded.
4) Choose "Print" from the menu bar.
5) Choose "Selected Events" from the "View" drop down menu in the Print window. You should now see a list of only those events you want to print.
It prints the list in a double-column, but otherwise it did the trick for me.
