Evolution really needs a simple plugin system for creating printout templates. I would love to contribute templates in this manner, for inclusion in future releases. I suspect many others feel the same way.
We had an immediate need to create a printout that should come from Evolution itself. I ended up just writing my own little program using the CreateSimple perl library which allows for easy generation of PDF files. The script opens an .ics file and then formats the output. It only prints boxes for dates with appointments. All of the current Evolution printouts are time based, and this one is more event based.
This is the kind of stuff that would move Evolution ahead of competing products in the minds of regular computer users.

Yes! This makes so much sense. I've gone so far to make a custom script to generate PDF for the contacts because I didn't like Evo's default output. A template-based system would make it easier and encourage sharing, too.
Did you open a feature request bug? I'd definitely vote for it.
