I want to just print a list from my contacts. However I only want to print
out a from a certain category. My category list are none, prospects,
medical, real estate...etc. I just want to print out the real estate
contacts. How can I do it or is even possible to separate out different
category's?

I have OL 2003.

You can create additional Contact folders. One for each
category.

Assign the items (item: An item is the basic element that
holds information in Outlook (similar to a file in other
programs). Items include e-mail messages, appointments,
contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, posted items, and
documents.) you want to print to the same category
(category: A keyword or phrase that helps you keep track of
items so you can easily find, sort, filter, or group them.).
How?

A category is a keyword or phrase that helps you keep track
of items so you can easily find, sort, filter, or group them.

To assign a category when creating an item

In the item, click Categories. In an e-mail message, you
must first click Options, and then click Categories.

In the Available categories list, select the check boxes
next to the categories you want, and then click OK.

To assign a category to an existing item

Select the items you want to assign to a category.
On the Edit menu, click Categories.
In the Available categories list, select the check boxes
next to the categories you want, and then click OK.
If a check box is shaded, some of the items selected in
step 1 are already assigned to that category. To add all
the selected items to the category, click the shaded check
box until a check mark without shading appears. To remove
all selected items from the category, click the shaded
check box until it is clear.

Note If the category you want isn't in the list, you can
quickly add a new category to the Master Category List
(Master Category List: The list of categories that you can
use to group items or to find items. This list contains
general categories such as Business, Personal, and Phone
Calls. You can add categories to and delete categories from
this list.). Type the category name in the Item(s) belong
to these categories box, and then click Add to List.

Search for items that already have the category you want.

How?

On the Tools menu, point to Find, and then click Advanced
Find.
In the Look for box, click Any type of Outlook item.
If the folder you want to search does not appear in the In
box, or you want to search more than one folder, click
Browse to select from a list. In the Folders box, select
the check boxes next to the folders you want to search, and
clear the check boxes next to the folders you don't want to
search. Click OK.
Click the More Choices tab.
Click Categories, and then select the check box next to the
category you want.
If the category you want isn't available in the Available
categories box, click Master Category List, type a name for
the category, click Add, and then click OK.

Click OK, and then click Find Now.
Select all the items that you want to print.

How?

To select adjacent items (item: An item is the basic
element that holds information in Outlook (similar to a
file in other programs). Items include e-mail messages,
appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes,
posted items, and documents.), click the first item, and
then hold down SHIFT and click the last item.
To select nonadjacent items, click the first item, and then
hold down CTRL and click additional items.
To select all items, click the Edit menu, and then click
Select All.
Note Changing the view (view: Views give you different
ways to look at the same information in a folder by putting
it in different arrangements and formats. There are
standard views for each folder. You can also create custom
views.) for items can make selecting specific items easier.
For instance, if you want to select all messages that have
the same subject, in the folder containing the messages, on
the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click
Conversation. Select the messages you want from the view.

On the File menu, click Print, and then in the Print style
box, select the print style (print style: A combination of
paper and page settings that determines the way items
print. Outlook provides built-in print styles, and you can
create your own.) you want to use.
 
Display your contacts by category. Highlight all of the entries in the
selected category (click on the first, hold the shift key down, click on the
last one). Go to File->Page Set-up, select Memo Style and then print.
