Print Frames is only available for web pages that have frames. You need to highlight a selection on a webpage to be able to use Selection.

I am using Firefox 4 and having this problem on a web page that definitely has frames. I tried selecting a frame and the frame print options were still grayed out.
I have been accessing this web page and printing individual frames for years. When I was using Firefox 3.16 up until yesterday, these options were not grayed out. In Internet Explorer 8 and previous versions, the print preview screen included frame print options; when I hopped over to Internet Explorer 9, I found that the print preview screen had been changed to no longer offer these options (!) but a little Internet research showed that pressing Ctrl-P on the frame in question did in fact print the individual frame.
So what is going on with Firefox 4?
Even when i highlight a section of a web page the selection button is still greyed out , very frustrating........
Hi,
My dad told me he had this 'no selection' problem when he wanted to print out a selection in Hotmail, so I had a hunt around, but didn't find a definitive solution.
So, I have done some playing around, and have come up with this solution which works if you want to print out a selection in Hotmail (using firefox), but it is now greyed out.
It seems to be connected with the way that Hotmail handles frames.
(Thought I would post it as posts like this have helped me a ton in the past :0))
To print a selection in hotmail you need to do this.
1/ On the email you want to print click the small Printer icon in the hotmail menu.
There is no need to highlight a selection at this stage because the email is in a frame, so it will do no good anyway.
2/ A new page will open up and the printer dialog box will open up.
Close the printer dialog box.
3/ Highlight the text selection that you want to print on that page.
4/ Press Ctrl-P on the keyboard.
5/ The printer dialog box will now pop up again and you will be able to choose 'Selection'
Your selection will now print.
