    Hrmm, in Firefox at least there should be a "Selection" option in the Page Range part of the Print dialogue. Not sure about Safari (don't use it regularly).

    Sorry, you're right.

    I did come across a bit of software called "Print Selection" which apparently does partially address this:

    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22665&vid=136483

    Sounds like it basically adds a service called "Print Selection" to Cocoa apps (like Safari) that will let you do it. Haven't tried it though, but worth a shot. Not sure if this service would be available to Firefox or not (it sounds like it should be if Firefox is a Cocoa app).
