#253471 — printing in Pale Moon or another browser

I use Firefox on my Windows 7 computer, but printing partial webpages is 
clunky. I've tried several add-ons, but they don't work well either. For 
example:

* Even with the Print/Print Preview add-on, you can't highlight a 
section of a webpage and use Print Preview to see how it will appear. 
It's simply not an option.

* Highlighting a section and using CTRL-P and "Print Selection" results, 
at best, in the top of the top line of the selection being cut off.

* For many pages, printing from a certain point to the end results in 
one or more pages of white space before the printing starts. Only 
occasionally has a partial webpage printed at the top of the first page.

Printing the same webpages in Internet Explorer works fine, but I don't 
want to use IE.

I'd be grateful if those who use Pale Moon or another browser could 
speak to the printing capabilities.

I don't use Pale Moon, but if I were trying to do that, I think I would 
print to .pdf and then use a .pdf editor to get rid of the stuff I 
didn't want.

However, sometimes print to .pdf doesn't get the desired result/rendering.

Besides not getting the desired result, when I want to print part of a 
webpage (say, for an order I'm placing), I want to do it right away. 
Often, what I end up doing in Firefox is a screen print, which is clunky.

There is an add-on for Firefox called Abduction.  It does a capture
of the entire page or a specified region.  There is a demo video
here...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3fWNJTUNLk

Disclaimer:  I have not used this add-on.

Thank you, Wildman. I'll check this out. I'd prefer to print the partial 
webpages directly, but this could at least help me get the material I 
want from the pages.

Thank you, Mike. I may be caught between workable versions of Abduction. 
It looks like the original version doesn't work past FF37, and 
Abduction-Fixed doesn't work with FF39, which is what I'm using.

PaleMoon result is same or similar to your above report.

Basically, "Selection" is the same as "All" except only the highlighted 
text is displayed. The number of pages printed and location upon those 
pages is the same with both print options.

Thank you, Guy. I'll look into other browsers.

I use the "Print Edit" plugin with PaleMoon:

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/print-edit

Works well for my needs. Easiest way for Printing only a portion of
a page is to select that area in Print Edit and hit <Delete Except>.
Restricted or unrestricted depends on the desired outcome. 

Selecting/unselecting several regions is done by just clicking. (No
Ctrl, Shift,... needed.)

The plugin also works with other Firefox-based browsers, of course.

Thank you, BeAr. I tried Print Edit a while back and found it took 
forever to delete what I didn't want. I might not have realized there 
was a Delete Except command. I'll give it a try. I still have the 
add-on, although I disabled it.
