Error Printing Shared Calendar in Daily View

When you print a shared calendar in “Daily” view in Outlook 2003, you receive the following error message:

  • “The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.”

This occurs because the user printing the calendar does not have access to the other user's Tasks folder.

Solution

  1. Log in as the user whose calendar is being shared and open Outlook.

  2. On the View menu in Outlook, click Folder List to display your mail folders.

  3. Right-click the Tasks folder and click Properties on the shortcut menu.

  4. Click the Permissions tab and click Add.

  5. Under Type Name or Select from List, click to select the user you want to grant permissions and click Add to add them to the Add User list and click OK.

  6. In the Name and Role list, click to select your new user.

  7. In the Roles list, click at least Reviewer and click OK.

  2. Choose Daily Style under Print Style;

  3. Click Page Setup;

  4. Uncheck Taskpad.

  5. Click OK to exit the Page Setup dialog.
