OK - so what am I doing wrong when trying to print selected text?

So, I have a web page open and want to only print part of it. I select (hi-lite) what I want to print, right click, and select print.

The CHROME print wizard comes up and in the preview section it shows exactly what I want. Hit print and a blank page comes out.

Otherwise printing works just fine as long as I want to do the entire page.

Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Hey Dave,

I tried what you are trying to do with the same results. I found you can resolve the problem this way:

1. Select/highlight area of the web page to be printed
2. Ctrl+P - (Select print) or right click, then "print"
3. Ctrl+Shift+P (or click the link at the bottom, of Print menu - "Print using system dialogue .."
4. On the "Page range" section - pick 'Selection" - Note: This option will be "greyed" out if you fail to highlight portion of the web page before proceeding on step 1 above.

Have a great week! B-)

Looks like you are not alone.

You'll see a link for reporting bugs in the postings.

I tried and had same problem, blank page.

Slightly off topic but here's where Google seems to be headed.

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2013/04/google_has_a_single_towering_obsession_it_wants_to_build_the_star_trek_computer.html

When "computers" are part of the plot on old TV shows or movies like Star Trek, Twilight Zone and others, I don't think I've ever seen a "mouse" as an interface device. Speaking is common, sometimes a keyboard or just turning some knobs and flipping some switches.

I've noticed already when I search for a celebrity in Chrome on my Nexus tablet, I'll often see a picture and a short bio appear first ahead of the search results.
