pcal - full-page calendars in Postscript
NOTE: This is the method I use to print out full-page calendars. However, I just want to state for the record that I appreciate the contribution of rael9's perl script and the willingness to share it with the rest of us. What follows is NOT an attempt to 'one-up' rael9's method -- it's just what I've been using for several years and I thought others might find it useful.

I'm not aware of any pre-compiled OSX/Darwin binaries available on the web) As mentioned, pcal creates calendars in Postscript.

then double-click on the Or if you're like me and want to do everything from the command line, try:
