I recommend Google calendar to all of my clients because it is easy to use, easy to keep updated (even to allow several people to make updates), and easy to embed in websites.  BUT, Google calendar’s one big drawback was printing out your calendar in month-view for print publications like newsletters.  If you had long event titles, they would truncate, and there was no choice about fonts or sizes.

But PrintMyCal changes all that!  You download and install this free little Java app on your desktop, then one-time set up your Google calendar.  Select your calendar, the month you want, and click “Go”.  Your calendar opens as an .rtf document in your default word processing application (Microsoft Word for me).  From there, it can be edited for fonts, etc.  For now, PrintMyCal is still a little rough graphically in default, but you can make whatever changes you need.  Also, so far, it’s only available in 8.5×11 format — hopefully a 8.5×14 format will come soon!  They have a short overview video on their site.  Do check out PrintMyCal!
