Thank you for posting this. It worked for me, but doesn't have the capability to print SELECTION.

Wonderful . I have spent a long time trying to add an print icon to the tool bar . I just dragged your PRINT link to my tool bar and Hey Presto it works! Thanks, sanity now restored.

Thanks, I still don't understand why google would leave something so important out like that

You can then add that same PRINT link to your other links that you may have created and have created a folder by dragging and dropping it to that folder (if any).

Thanks! that helps print a page! but what if I just want to print out a section of the page. On my printer box I usually can select this on selection.
