how do I print a selection in safari

I want to be able to print only a certain selection of text on a website.  Let's say the second paragraph or the address of a place.  I can highlight it, but don't know how to print just that selection. I am new to macs, but know I can do this on a pc by selecting "selected" when the pc print options come up.  Is there a similar way in mac or do I need to copy and paste to Pages and print from there?

Please refer to this post for help

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.

This is ridiculous.  Apple needs to add this feature.

This worked for me immediately after I followed all the steps.. OSX Lion 10.7.5, updgraded from Snow Leapard

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.

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...

This is why you can Delete Safari, and never worry about it..

You don't.
