Description Martin Fabian Hohenberg 2005-03-15 13:10:41 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I am not positive if this wishlist request is right here... maybe it's a konqueror problem.

When I try to print webpages in Konqueror, I have to print the whole document, even if I only need one or two paragraphs (think Wikipedia). This is a waste of paper and ink.

The Redmondian Printing System allows me to mark the wanted paragraphs, then select an option in the printing system that it should print only the marked area.

I understand that this is an interaction issue between kprinter and the application, but it would be enourmously convinient if a more windows-similar approach would be possible here - maybe with a new API subset?

Keep up the good work. Wish I was capable of helping in development :)

You can't print a selected part of an HTML document, but you should be able to print a single page out of it. To achieve this, you can print the entire document while enabling print preview. In the preview you can locate the page you want and cancel the print. Then print again, but this time specify the wanted page in the print dialog.

Michael.
