When creating PDFs of web pages, sometimes you only want a part of the web page. Doing this by editing the resulting pdf in Illustrator can range from frustrating to impossible. Being able to print a particular part of a web page by having it selected in the Web Inspector would be a nice addition. You would also want to be able to select multiple, contiguous elements in the DOM.

I do think that being able to print sections of pages is a useful feature. I'm not sure the Inspector is the right place for this, though. Here are the pros/cons I see of having this in the Inspector Pros: 1. There's already a way to select a section of a page (by selecting a DOM node) Cons: 1. The Inspector is a feature that only web developers are expected to have enabled 2. It's not clear to non-expert users what the DOM tree means, so it's hard to expect them to know how to select what they want 3. All other printing-related features are in the browser chrome, so introducing a printing feature to the Inspector would create quite a disconnect I think it makes far more sense to have this as a feature of the browser. Would you be so kind as to file a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com/ ?
