I can't print out a highlighted paragraph or section from a article or data. It won't let me select the selection option, only the print all or page 1 of etc.

I have no trouble if using Explorer 9.

The Selection Option is working fine with me. Select some lines already written on a page, press CTRL + P for Print...-> click on Selection option now -> and click OK

Check and tell if its working.

Worked fine, not used to Firefox and have only used IE where I would always highlight, then print preview and choose selected etc.

Thank you.

It sort of worked. I selected the three lines of the given answer above, followed the directions and the printer responded with the header at the top followed by a trace of the very bottom edge of the first line and then a full rendering of the next two lines. I checked the page setup and the top and bottom margins were normal at .5 ins.
