Print event-filled days on one sheet from iCal

Ever have the notes for a single day's events extend just a few lines onto page two? Have only letter-sized paper and wonder how you can get those half-dozen lines onto one (slightly-shrunken) sheet? In iCal, choose Print from the File menu. Make settings as desired including checking the box for Details and be sure to set the following two options: 1) View: Day; and 2) Paper: US Legal. Click Continue.

In the standard Mac OS X Print window, choose "Paper Handling" from the third popup menu -- the one that is (maddeningly) unlabeled, but defaults to Copies & Pages. In the section labeled Destination Paper Size, choose "Scale to fit paper size" and select US Letter. Click Print.

[robg adds: For everyone who doesn't use iCal and is thinking "why not just use Page Setup to set the scale?" ... amazingly, iCal lacks the Page Setup dialog. You work through an iCal-specific Print dialog first, which is then followed up with the standard OS X Print dialog.]
