Hi
I use category colours in my calendar and until I upgraded to outlook 2007 
was able to print out my daily and weekly calendars with all my different 
appointments and events in colour on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer.

Now I've upgraded to Outlook 2007 the calendars don't print in colour, nor 
do they indicate whether an appointment is "Busy" time or free.  It's not 
that the printer isn't getting the colours, nor is it that the categories 
have somehow been lost, because in the bottom right of each blank rectangle 
for the appointment is a little square showing that it's a recurring appt, or 
that it has more than one category colour, and they are in colour.

I'd like to be able to blame the printer, but nothing's change there except 
that it's now connected to Outlook 2007.
Thanks in advance

There is a problem with Outlook 2007's category shades and the HP color 
management system.  I'm not aware of a workaround, other than using the 
calendar printing assistant or a new printer.

So are you saying that the problem is with HP?  When it wasn't there with 
Outlook 2003?

And further to that, when I take my laptop to work and connect it to the HP 
Laserjet 1022 it works fine, apart from the obvious...the laserjet is a black 
and white printer - but it is printing the blocks of what would be colour in 
various grey shades, which suggests that the driver and printer are handling 
the colour correctly.

I may have fixed this myself - I changed my User Access Control from High to 
Medium/default and lo and behold I get colours again.  Seems a bit bizarre 
that something apparently unconnected works like that.
