When trying to print only selected text from emails, the print selection option in my printers is grayed out. How can I print selected portions of an email only?

Chosen solution

If you select the portion of the message you wish to print, and then select File/Print Preview, does just the selection appear?

Yes this does work. It would be much nicer if you could simply use the print selection option in the printer interface but it did work.

I am having this same issue. And when I do get an e-mail to print, it is all run together.

I am attaching 2 images. The first one shows how an order comes to me via e-mail. But when I go to print it, it looks like the second image. It's all run together and does not print like the original message shows.

oh no ! I get hundreds of orders everyday. I simply do not have the time to do all that. I am hoping for an easier fix. But thank you for your time.
