What has been implemented. "Selection" is still greyed out and I have not received 
any advice to the problem 

This fix is an absolute necessity.  Please make this a "1" priority for the sake of 
printers everywhere.

The context menu on selected text does not contain menu item to open the print dialog 
box (at least, in russian version). So you should use Ctrl-P shortcut or right-click 
out of the selected text. Also preview is needed.

i agree, this is very important

vote 1. lack of this feature stopped my manager from using chromium 3 minutes after 
I'd installed it. So much for faster, more secure browsing - print selection !

This feature is more complex to implement than it seems. As a temporary work around, 
you can always use copy (Ctrl-C), open Open Office Writer, paste (Ctrl-V) and print 
(Ctrl-P) the snippet.

this feature should be top priority. is a clean expressive 
very important! 

Merry Christmas! 
dino.

The lack of the capability "Print selection" is my only reason for not using Chrome

Merry Christmas and a good New Year 2009

In my opinion, print selection is a standard application function and should be 
incorporated into the browser ASAP. This is driving my mother in law crazy, which 
makes me regret introducing this browser to her. No good deed goes unpunished. Happy 
browsing.

 Issue 6663  has been merged into this issue.

Please add Print selection.  This is a priority tool

print-management in google chrome: a real catastrophe. light-years behind the other 
browsers, even ie!

This issue was opened five months ago. Does Google not understand how many more 
people would be using Chrome if this issue was resolved. Google is a big company with 
many developers and five months is a long time for an issue to be resolved. I have to 
say other then this print issue, I do love Chrome!

Thanks Google!

This is probably one of the most needed tools in a browser. I hope I dont have to go 
back to Firefox because of this one fault in Chrome...

Yes, using the print selection is important!!! Mozilla Firefox!!!

one thing to be done, til google fixed this: install this in your bookmarks bar: http://docs.google.com/MiscCommands?command=newdoc&redirectToDocument=true&hl=de
copy your print selection into a new document and print(only when logged in)... but 
it has to be exactly the phrase, of course the same print-problem exists in docs!

This needs addressing.  School/Unis are teaching students they can use this function.
 They go to Chrome and can't.  Personally I launch Firefox and get aggravated that I
have to do this.

perhaps the solution would bring back GOOG over 700$, despite this crisis...:-)

Unable to print highlighted selection.  This menu option goes black on pull down. 
Works fine in MSFT Int Explorer.

This issue is really important. I upgraded a friends computer awhile ago and 
recommended that he try Chrome. He's been using it for awhile, but just today he called 
me up wondering why he can't "print selection". I told him that Chrome can't do it, so 
now he's left Chrome and gone back to IE. This needs to be fixed ASAP, or you'll end up 
losing more customers.

See also WebKit bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24673

Why has this still not been fixed? It's the only reason that a lot of people 
(including myself) have not moved fully over to chrome from other browsers. It's such 
a useful feature that should surely be easy to integrate (or at least take less than 
5 months to implement)

Add Print Selection support to Chrome.  This change is fairly involved since this means that the printing is done async instead of the fully synchronous mode the normal full page printing is.
This means we create an in memory copy of the selected text for printing.
This is the next step to move to fully async printing with print frame support.
This change also removes the print on demand functionality that was no longer used.

BUG=http://crbug.com/1682
TEST=The print dialog on Windows now contains an option to print selection only.  Test that with various pages and various selections.

I don't mean to spam everybody, and I apologize if I am the only one with this problem, 
but I figured this is the most applicable place to post...  Anybody else having trouble 
with print selection in Gmail and Hotmail?  The print selection works if I go into the 
"Print All" and select what I want to print.  But if I do not, the option to "print 
selection" is still grayed out.
(Note, this is after the update to 3.0.190.1)

true, print selection is grayed out when i select a part of a message in Gmail

i dont know what you guys are talking about . Print selection is not fixed in latest 
stable 2.0.172.33. print selection is still greyed out everywhere

Guys, use the latest continuous build please, and if it isn't fixed there then it 
hasn't been completed yet:
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/

@PishPoshBaby.com (and everyone else who may comment wondering about this)
Print selection is only available on the dev channel.  the version is 3.0.190.1.  If 
you do not have that version, print selection will not be available.  If you wish to 
have that feature, change you version to the dev channel.  Otherwise, I am sure it will 
be released to the stable channel in time.
For more information, go to http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

@jonathan.wong
can you open a new issue about it?
thanks

Now  Issue 15250 .
In case the appreciation has yet to be expressed to those who worked on this feature - 
and I am sure I speak for more than myself - thank you.

I think this feature would be more useful if user could be allowed to print selection 
directly selecting text from the page, then right click and than print, without going 
to the print menu. 

@fabios4rulez
would you mind opening a new issue about it?
it's a good point IMO

I think that's a great idea, as well. Very efficient.

 Issue 20394  has been merged into this issue.

When I started using Chrome, I liked it so much that I made it the default browser. 
Then I ran into the issue that you can't print a selection. I couldn't believe that 
Google would not think this was important to include. Judging by the length of time 
this thread has existed, it still appears that Google doesn't think its important. I'll 
tell you how important it is for me.... Firefox has now been set back to being my 
default browser. 

@59 But... there is a print selection option.

and you can also use the PrintWhatYouLike Bookmarklet

Hi, I'm using the latest Chrome beta for Windows (4.0.223.16), and when I attempt to 
use the print selection radio button, no print job is submitted to my printer. No error 
message is produced, and the command appears to be ignored. Sometimes, after this 
failure, the print dialog box fails to appear after clicking Ctrl-P on the keyboard. 
Print functionality (whole document, not selection) returns upon rebooting Chrome.

Fixing a bulk edit. Looks like the search query was not correct.

However, this is broken again in Chrome 4.0.249.43...

Same on Google Chrome	4.0.266.0 (Official Build 33992) seems like regression

see Issue 22937 for the regression

Please announce when Print Selection is available.

chrome 4.0 and issue is still not fixed.

please remove this issue as fixed

When I updated to stable version 4, I now lost the ability to "Print Selection" (circle 
is gray'd out). You have a great browser...why is there always issues with the print 
selection? Please Fix! Thank you

Please read comment 69 before commenting here. The current bug for this is issue 
22937.

As I tweeted in October, Print Selection worked. But alas it no longer works after I 
upgraded to version 4X.  I love Google Chrome - it is fast and the interface is by far 
the best browser design IMO.  But without PRINT SELECTION, the time savings bank is 
negative.

Please fix this problem - I am trying to save paper and this makes it VERY DIFFICULT.  
Can I go back to IE now?  Ugh....

It is back to Firefox for me. It is very important that I can print selections. Buh Bye 
Chrome. :-/
