Calendar Printing Assistant & Google Calendars

[acodring]

I just found CPA and was really impressed with the ideas. I've got several
Google Calendars imported into Outlook 2007 as internet calendars and the
overlay is really working well so it was a natural to try CPA to print a
beautiful version of the same.

CPA does show the imported calendars as available and shows the events if I
ask it to.

The problem is they're all shown as 'Private Appointments', even though the
details show up fine in the Outlook 2007 view.

I tried editing the .calx files to replace the outlook:: links to get the
calendar data directly from Google using the original private calendar links
with no joy. I tried a few different xmlns from Google but really don't know
what I'm doing.

Any tips on this? If there's some setting in Outlook I can change so I don't
need to mess with the .calx files that'd be great.

The problem seems to be that although Outlook is using the special private
calendar XML urls from Google it's assuming the CPA application shouldn't be
trusted with the detailed event info. Probably a good assumption, but not
what I want right now!

Thanks in advance for any brain cycles you or your colleagues can spare!

Ben Martens from Microsoft was kind enough to respond to an inquiry I made
from his blog.

Sounds like I'm out of luck for now on this scenario.

Thanks Ben!

I too ran into this problem after I thought I found the ideal solution to the
problem of printing merged google and outlook calendars. Please fix this
Microsoft!
