Duplicate of bug 364842 or bug 367898?

both are for sunbird, and not lightning, thats why I reported this bug. However I'm not sure if a reported bug for sunbird is also applicable for lightning...sorry if that is the case, then this is a duplicate bug

What print layout do you use? List, weekly or monthly? Please specify. Do you configured Thunderbird to print with colors? You need to do this in Thunderbird menu 'File -> Page Setup -> Format & Options -> Print Background (colors & images)'.

Sorry for not being clear, it's my first bug...

Monthly, as mentioned in the description. I also tried changing the setting to print background, this was indeed not configured, and that did it. However, for me that was not clear as a user that these two are linked. But then I understood that the printing of lightning will be integrated into the thunderbird printing option. 

to add one thing, If I change the layout to landscape (in page setup, schrink to fit page width is ticked), the selection does not fit on one page..The selection is obviously expanded so the width is equal to one page, but now I don't know how to get one complete month on the page in landscape

Daniel and Matt: Does the printing subsystem differ enough on Lightning that we should use a separate bug to track issues in Lightning that are similar to issues reported in Sunbird?

This is a case in point, see comment 1.

Please let me know how we should triage these Lightning Printing bugs so that we can be sure they are properly filed in order to make it easy for you to track and fix these issues.

No, the printing dialog has been consolidated, there is only one.
