Print ONLY selected text from webpage

Hi. I'm fairly new to iMac, but with Windows XP, if you wanted to print only a paragraph or two from a webpage, you just highlighted it and hit 'print'.
So far with my 17" flat screen G4, when ever I do that I get the whole webpage no matter what.
As a workaround I highlight the text in the webpage, copy it to the clipboard and then open 'text edit', copy it to there and then 'print'.
This is Mac ! There must be a better way to do this. Can anyone clue me in ? Thanks so much. Dean M
 
One way…

I use the Services Menu, under Safari > TextEdit “New Window Containing Selection”. Then it’s in TextEdit. This only works in browsers which support Services (Cocoa Apps) Safari, Camino, Opera – Firefox does not yet support Services.

I actually use TextSoap, not TextEdit because text grabbed from a browser often needs cleanup, rewrapping, stripping or adding returns, etc.
