Jun 28, 2012 10:26 AM in response to valone123by SP Forsythe,The thread that Bonenfant gives some good suggestions, but here is another that might suffice as well.
Don't use Safari for this task. If you instead use Firefox, the print dialog box supports printing of selections.
I do kinda like the idea of adding the Service that is mentioned in the linked thread. But I can also think of some disadvantages.

You can get the select printing to work by selecting the text you want to print, then use the 2-finger secondary click gesture to bring up the secondary window, then chose "Print Selection"
Go here an download the dmg file.

Follow these directions to get your select printing to work. These same instructions can be found on the webpage as the very 1st comment you come up to on the page.
1. CLOSE all open apps/programs. Very important!
2. Install the software
3. locate Print Selection.service inside Macintosh HD/Library/Services/Print Selection.service
NOTE: If blocked from seeing the contents of this Services folder due to system settings. Click the folder to select it, Cmd+i to get info, then go to the bottom of the window and click the lock icon and enter the administrator user name and password. Then change the user privileges to Read/Write and access the file.
3. Copy the application to Macintosh HD/System/Library/Services (optionally, copy it to your user's Services folder as well: /Users/[username]/Library/Services)
4. Log Out and Log back In
5. You may also need to Open Services Preferences (Safari-Services-Services Preferences), and in the Keyboard Shortcuts section, enable Print Selection.
There you go. Like I said this worked for me immediately after I followed all the steps.

Aug 23, 2013 7:33 PM in response to Tony2557by Harmon Dow,This worked for me!
It also allows me to "print selection" in other apps
And if I run across an app that won't let me do the "print selection" I can highlight text, drag it to the desktop, & then highlight & print the selection from the clipping.
Now all I have to do is remember that this function is in Services rather than under Print...
