Steps to reproduce:

I'm trying to use lightning to print ics files nicely.

Actual results:

Currently, the layout used to print the weekly plan places them in portrait on the page, in 2 columns: mon-wed and thu-sun. This is similar to how paper scheduling systems used to do it, and .e.g, Lotus 123 tried to replicate this.

Expected results:

This layout is really unhelpful for me*. For one, my mental model for a week is horizontal, so the vertical split in columns does not help me. Second, days have a similar passage of time (and I'm as busy during weekends as I am on weekdays), so the left-and right or vertical continuity of the agenda does not help me. I'd rather very much visualize that certain things always happen at the same time every day, which is obvious if days are laid out in 7 columns of equal height.

I would like to be able to print them in columns, similar to what Google Calendar does. However, I assume that this would not suit everybody.

Can the format be customized or, if I wanted to contribute a new format, would it be hard to do so?

(*I do not think I'm special and I'm sure many would relate, but I don't want to assume most people do or exaggerate how many people may agree with me)
