Under Print Range, select Pages and then enter the range of pages to print. The default print range is All, which, of course, prints the


entire Web page. Click Print to print the specified page range. This setting takes effect on a site-by-site basis. In other words, changing the page range for the site you're currently printing doesn't not affect pages you print in the future. Printing by selection If you find it easier to specify a print range by highlighting the part of the page you wish to print or if you want to print content that spans two pages on a single page, use the print-by-selection method as follows: Select (highlight) the portion of the page you want to print. Open the Print window. I provide instructions for doing so a bit earlier in this part of the chapter. Under Print Range, select Selection. Click Print to print the selection. This setting takes effect on a site-by-site basis. In other words, choosing to print a selection on the current site does not affect pages you print in the future. Printing by frame Some Web sites are divided into box structures called frames. Each frame actually contains a separate Web site. Web sites use this when they need to aggregate two or more Web sites into a single presentation. For example, the online resource site About.com includes links to thousands of external Web sites (Web sites outside of the About.com network) about all sorts of topics. Rather than linking you directly to an external Web site, About.com loads the Web site in a frame and inserts its own frame at the top of the page that links you back to About.com. This helps keep you in the About.com network, so you can move on to other topical pages discovered by About.com if the current page doesn't meet your needs. Unfortunately, About.com also includes an advertisement in its top frame, as you can see in Figure 12-7. By default, Firefox prints all frames in a framed Web site, just as they're laid out on the screen. This means the printed page will have an ugly advertisement at the top. Luckily, Firefox allows you to print just a particular frame, or to print each frame separately. Figure 12-7: On framed pages, you can pick which frame to print. In this case, you can avoid printing the ad at the top by printing only the bottom frame. Follow these steps to print a particular frame: Select the frame you want to print by clicking an empty space within it. In other words, don't click a link. There's no visual identification of which frame is selected, but Firefox knows. Open the Print window. I provided instructions for doing so a bit earlier in this part of the chapter. Under Print Frames, select The Selected Frame. The default option is As Laid Out on the Screen, which prints the Web site just as it appears to you on the screen. Click Print to print the selected frame. Tip Another way to print just a particular frame is to isolate the frame - in other words, load the Web site displayed in the frame by itself. You do this in Firefox by right-clicking the frame, selecting the This Frame submenu in the contextual menu that appears, and then choosing Show Only This Frame. The Web site in the frame loads separately, and then you can print the page normally, just like any other. This feature is also handy when you want to read the frame by itself on the screen. If you'd rather print each frame individually, follow these steps: Open the Print window. I provide instructions for doing so a bit earlier in this part of the chapter. Under Print Frames, choose Each Frame Separately.
