In September, Mac|Life suggested having a paper copy of important contacts on hand. How can I print a list of addresses from Address Book?
In Lion, Address Book does allow you to print out a contact list; however, this feature is hidden inside the various print options. To begin, select the contacts that you want to print, then choose File > Print. Click Show Details to open a larger print dialog with more print options.
The Show Details button will give you access to more print options in Address Book.
From the Style drop-down menu, select either the Lists or Pocket Address Book style, then select the Attributes that you want to print (phone, email, address, and so on). The Lists style will allow you to select either a regular or large font size, while the Pocket Address Book style will let you choose your font. When you are ready to print, click the Print button. You can also preview the printout by clicking PDF > Open PDF in Preview.

Printing contacts is not hard. What is hard is printing a list of contacts in alphabetical order. If you, the author, know how to do this, please share your insight with all of us. As far as I can tell, no one on the planet has figured out how to do it. It appears to be a bug in Contacts. Can you prove me wrong on this?
