Printing specific pages

[Paul H. Gray]

We are an academic library with 10 Internet access stations running
Netscape in our Reference area.  Patrons often need to print only a brief
selection from the middle of a lengthy Web document.

Unfortunately - if the document is standard html (as opposed to a pdf file)
there is no convenient way (that I know of) to print just this portion.
Yes - the print dialogue allows you to print from page x to page y  -- but
there is no way to know which 'page' you desired info is on.
The only option I have been able to suggest so far is to go to 'Print
Preview' and page through until you reach your information.  Not very
workable if what they want is on page 40 out of 75.

As a result patrons are printing piles and piles of material they don't
need - or really want - to print.  Very costly for us since we currently do
not charge.

Is there something I am missing?? Any ideas as to how others are dealing
with this would be very welcome.  Feel free to respond ditectly to me if
you prefer.
