Bug Description

When printing, the calendar continues way past the paper. In the print preview window the paper is in landscape format but the calendar is in portrait, which is why it happens. Couldn't find working workarounds.

Using Ubuntu 6.06 Edgy Eft.

Steps to repeat:
 - start Evolution
 - click Calendars
 - File -> Print Preview

There seems to be no workaround to print the calendar in landscape format.

Iirc I could workaround by printing it to pdf, and then feeding that directly to cups (via xpp or plain lp) and telling the paper orientation...

alas I can't test it anymore, since I installed feisty whose evolution doesn't seem to have the ability to print landscape calendars at all... :-(

jfyi, tried with intrepid's evolution 2.23.91, and the landscape layout seems to work, but curiously when using anything else than 'Print to file' the text is missing...
