When I type the "&" into the New Calendar, it prints as "&amp"
Yes, it is an ampersand, but I only want the & to show.

To be specific, I think you mean that if there is an ampersand in an event title (e.g., "Fathers & Sons"), it will print out as "Fathers & Sons" when you click the Print button and choose to print or download the calendar. It also happens with other special characters:
  • "a—b" displays as "a—b"
  • 'The "Heber Creeper"' displays as 'The ' (double quotes cause truncation)
  • "a<b" displays as "a" (angle brackets also cause truncation)

Also reported here. This does appear to be one step closer than the previously reported bug, so that means it's being worked on.

I've logged this as a bug to be fixed in the 2.0.5 release.
