In today’s high paced, technological world, it’s rare to have physical copies of calendars. But having them on hand is definitely useful in helping people get through the day. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be able to print out your calendar from Google to put in your notebook or briefcase.
The Physical Google Calendar
Printing your Google Calendar can be extremely useful for both personal and business reasons. Sometimes it’s easier to have it down on paper and take notes on it with a pen rather than staring at a screen. It’s also much more easier to take out during meetings, instead of opening up your laptop and possibly seeming rude.

Step Two - Setting the Look
- Now that you’re logged into Google Calendar, it’s time to set up which schedule type you want to see. Do you want a daily, weekly, monthly, 4-day, or agenda calendar? In the top right hand corner, you can select from the four different options. For this tutorial I went with a weekly calendar.
Step Three - Page Settings
- Once you’ve set up the look of your Google Calendar, it’s time to set up the page before printing. In the top right hand corner, there is a Print link wth a small icon next to it. Click on this link to get a pop up window with a print preview of your calendar.
