Take a look at a bookmarklet called "Print What You Like". It's from a
webware site of the same name. I keep it it on the Bookmarks Toolbar in
FF 3.5.x and use it for printing what I want from a web page at least
every other day. I hope you'll find it useful, too.

All paid SW/services can use demo,
but not all demos are related to any payment.

Understandable question MM. We think of "demo" as "trialware", but in
this case, it's just an invite to run the proggie so you can see what it
does. No potential cash involved; let'em try to clean that bookmarklet
off my machines! <vbbg>
