Hello,

I have a user that is trying to print from another user's shared calendar and recieves the error "The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook". Of course, restarting outlook does nothing to help, she has the appropriate permissions to view and edit the calendar in question, and others are able to print from the same calendar on different pc's. If anyone has ever seen this error or has any suggestions, they would be most appreciated. Thank you.
 
Forgot to include in the original post that this is MS Outlook 2003 Professional and the mail server is Exchange 2000 on a Windows 2000 server. Thanks again.
 
This error will occur if the user has been given delegate rights to someone's Calendar but not given rights to their Tasks and are trying to print their calendar using the Daily Style which includes printing task items. The delegate can resolve this problem by modifying the Print style to exclude task items. This can be done by selecting File | Print and clicking on the Define Styles button. Highlight Daily Style and click on the Edit button. Then uncheck the Include TaskPad option and click OK. They will now be able to print the calendar.

Alternatively, the calendar owner can modify delegate rights to include permissions for Tasks.
 
Yep, worked like a charm. Thanks for the valuable tip.
