I don't know of any way to print parts of pages directly. However, if your
stations have a text editor/word processor loaded, your patrons can copy and
paste the text section(s) they desire and then print them off that way. The
BIG downside is that you might have people typing/editing papers at your
stations. Likewise, this won't print/save graphics. That must be done
separately (right click). But, the BIG plus is that students don't have to
waste paper printing unnecessary information. The latter is particularly
true (and something we're haggling with) when you're charging for printing.
Hope this helps...
