Tip 960: (Another) Calendar Printing Bug

Starting the week on Monday is the cause of this new printing bug.

An Outlook 2010 user wanted to print a calendar using the options to print exactly one month per page and to print only the weekdays (Monday – Friday) but with September 2012, the printout included only the first 3 weeks – the last week is missing.

The fix: Set the calendar to start on Sunday and the calendar will print as expected.

I wanted to see if any other months in 2012 are affected so I set it to print 1/1 – 12/31, one month per page. January was 6 weeks long and included dates through Feb 10 (remember, its supposed to print exactly one month per page). I checked 2011 and 2013 – one month each year is short a week and one month has a full week from the next month. I'm confident that each year is affected by this bug.

Note that Outlook 2007 is affected by this bug also.
