how do I print only a selected part of a document?

[jnulr]

Hello,  I am using Windows 10 with my HP 4630 series network printer.

I would like to be able to print only what I select and can't figure out how to do it.  My previous O.S. was Windows 7 and it always gave me this option (Selected).  Now I can't find it even when I highlight what I wish to print.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

  Internet Explorer 11 provides this feature.

OR

  Use Snip to create a "snipped" area screen shot > save the image as a .jpg file > print the file.

Reinstall / Update your PDF Reader (Adobe Reader DC / Foxit)

Snip – available since Vista!  Check out the “delay” feature in Windows 10

Thank you Dragon fur!

I've accomplised using the "Snipping Tool" but here's a case where a feature of an older O.S. was actually much more simple to use.  I used to be able to simply highlight what I wanted then choose selected on the print options and it did it.  With this, it's much more cumbersome.

But, I do thank you for helping me out.  I now have the "Snipping Tool" pinned to my taskbar.

Thanks again,

Perhaps you remember using Adobe Reader DC to capture and print the portion of a page.

• Use Adobe Reader DC to print a portion of a PDF file.

• Open the PDF file and scroll to the portion of the page you wish to print
• Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot
• Draw a rectangle to select a portion of a page
• Choose File > Print
• In the Print dialog box, click Selected graphic

Is it just text that you wish to print?

I keep the "WordPad" icon available on my tool tray.  When I want to print out some selected text, I just highlight the text, right-click to select "Copy", then open WordPad.  I paste it, then print it.
