Details

(Whiteboard: [pdfjs-feature][pdfjs-printing]) 

The "Print Selection Only" print option was disabled in bug #830278.

Things require to enable this feature again:
- Fix the OOM issue by fixing bug #839914
- (Hope that's enough)
- Revert: https://bug830278.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=710180

I just got a mail that bug.
It seems that visual impairment people are running quite often in this issue, so we could also improve accessibility by fixing this.

Anna or Morgan, could you help us understand the severity of this bug for users with visual impairment?

I'm not familiar with this feature -- does this allow users to highlight a section and then print only the highlighted chunk?
I'm not sure why this would be an issue people with visual impairments encounter more often than other users. Maybe the codepath this was previously implemented with was an especially hot path in the a11y API? Though I don't know why that'd be true 🤔
Sorry I can't be of more help :(

Yes, you can try this on any page. Select some text, open the context menu, then "Print selection...".

Thanks! Removing the "access" keyword then since this is not an accessibility bug.
