How to print only selection

I'm using a shared printer from a Vista machine across a wireless network on my Mac. If I highlight a specific area of text, how do I print selection? I keep getting full page prints.

In what application(s) do you expect only selected text to print? I'm not familiar with that behavior with Mac OS X. The Mac's Mail application will reply with selected text only, but that's a different behavior.

If nothing else works, you can copy the text and paste it into a new window in an application like TextEdit and print from there. That can be streamlined by selecting the text, then pulling down the application-named menu, rolling down to "Services", then to "TextEdit", then to "New Window Containing Selection".
