I've got Outlook 2003 connecting to our in-house Exchange 5.5 server. Everything works well except when I open the public folders I have some calenders that many people use to access. When I try to print any one of these calenders I recieve the following error:

The folder cannot be opened because there is a configuration problem on the server. Contact your Microsoft Exchange Server administrator for assistance.

Anyone ever run into this or anyone have any idea how to fix it? I scoured the MS Knowledge base and no luck... Another thing to note, I have some users you have Outlook 2002 and 2000 and they can print the Public Folder based Calanders without any problems, its JUST the 2003 clients that can't.

Summery:
Outlook 2003
XP Pro OS
Connecting to Exchange 5.5
Same error message on all machines in network when trying to print Calanders out of Public Folders.
 
Found this in microsoft.outlook.public.printing

This is not a bug it is a setting you need to fix when
you try to print.

Open Outlook
Select the calendar public folder
Select FILE from the menu
Select PRINT
Select DAILY STYLE
Click the PAGE SETUP... button
On the FORMAT tab uncheck the following in the INCLUDE
area:
TASKPAD

There is no Taskpad associated with the public folder
calendar and therefore cannot print it.
