IF you are using MS' Internet Explorer, (Netscape of some versions, or perhaps some other browsers as well, might have similar ability), you can print just the selected text by:

1) selecting just the desired text
2) selecting command File>Print (or press CTRL-P)
3) click on the Page Range "Selection"

NO NOT use the [Print] button, since this does not (usually) retain the "Print Range: Selection" option.

(I have seen where the "Print Range: Selection" does become "sticky" (keeps being selected) but I would never rely on it.)
