When I try to print a calendar only the events will print, which is a bit of a waste of time, for example if I am in day view and wish to print out a list of tasks that I want to complete that day only the events are printable. Now maybe I am mistaken but I thought that events were like Christmas day it is going to happen on the twenty fifth of December no matter what I do, whereas a task is like cooking Christmas dinner,it will only happen if I do it. Ok I admit I have figured a way around this; if I hold down the Ctrl key and individually select all of the tasks then in print preview box click on print selected events then I can print the tasks but surely this was not intentional as it seems a rather clumsy way of doing things.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
Surely it would be better to be able to select the things that you do not want printed or have a print preview dialogue box with print all, print tasks only, print events only and print selected options

I have probably put stuff in the wrong boxes, sorry about that. I am generally pleased with the way Mozilla products work, I am sure that people have more important bugs but it would be good to get the printing thing sorted as not all of us have Tablet PCs to walk around with and the predictions of the paperless office fall into the same category as the Jetsons' car.
