It would be real fun to have the ability to print a marked area only. It's the
same as IE nowadays offers, and I started to love this feature, since most
times, U dont need the whole info on a page, but more only a portion of it.
A very well made solution, would offer this via the right mouse button context
menu above the selected area (same solution as IE offers).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select a area on a page (text, images, tables, etc..)
2.press right mouse button
3.no option for "Print Selected" or "Print Marked"

Actual Results:  
nothing, since this is a feature request.

Expected Results:  
A very well made solution, would offer this via the right mouse button context
menu above the selected area (same solution as IE offers).

mark text, select file/print and you should see the printer dialog.
I have an entry there in the "print-area" (translated) for "marked" text.

That means: You only want a entry in the context menu for this ?

Ha, my bad!
Never tried it that way, but somehow I am surprised, that I figure it out! :)
Well thanx for the help and sorry for the whuzz.
The feature request is revoked now, since it works well as designed.

Thanx Matti!
