Print Only Selected Text From Web Pages

by Brian Burgess on April 14th, 2007

When surfing the internet you undoubtedly will come across great information you want to print out. When printing from the internet you don’t have to waste paper and ink printing out the entire site page with images and advertisements. Just print out the information you want.

Highlight the specific information you want to print out with your mouse:

Now hit “CTRL+P” to launch the print menu, or File \ Print from the menu.

In this window “All” is selected by default. Change it by checking “Selection” then OK.

This will only print out the text you have highlighted and will work for specific images also. Just highlight the image and use the same process.

This should work in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
