I'm interested in printing only a small portion of it.
<br>
<br>
I'd like to be able to essentially "print selection".
<br>
<br>
Of course this would require that each program (gvim, firefox,
thunderbird, terminal, whatever) provide such an option.
<br>
<br>
Alternately, I can copy to my clipboard, and then through some clever
utility (I assume there are clipboard utilities?) print from clipboard.
This would work with any source, regardless of whether the program
supports printing selection or not.
<br>
<br>
But when I searched I could not find the answer.
<br>
<br>
Anyone know? Does such a think exist?

The Doctor: Don't worry, Reinette, just a nightmare.
Everyone has nightmares. Even monsters from under the
bed have nightmares, don't you, monster?
Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
The Doctor: Me!
