Print Selection Service adds a "Print Selection" command to the Services menu that allows you to print the current selection in any Services savvy application.
What's New
Version 2.0: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
I was hoping that this will work. NO! It gave it so much trouble. Installing it, and it won't open! Needs to read people's review to find the goddam file, and trying to uninstall it, and won't let me! This is one stupid creation, full of bugs.
Delete /Library/Services/Print Selection.service. Open the Installations-Package in the .dmg with e.g. Pacifist and copy to /Library/Services/ and done!!! Tested with 10.7.2 (Build 11C62)
Using 10.6.8
Print Selection Service (PSS) works perfectly in Snow Leopard as an app, not a service. Assign any icon to the app and drag that icon to the dock. Select any text and drag it to the PSS icon in the dock, PSS will work as expected. I use it all the time and never fails.
Using 10.6.4
I get the message that the App has been installed and to log out. Have installed twice, but it does not show up in the System Preferences ... Keyboard .
It is not installed in Library ... Services either.
Any suggestions?

I have Mac OS X 10.5.7 and the application works fine. Just go to the "Safari" tab (or whatever application you are using) and scroll down to "Services." Print Selection will be one of those services. Thanks!
Version 1 worked beautifully with Tiger and stopped when Leopard was released.
I greeted version 2 with delight and installed it immediately.
Unfortunately it DOES NOT WORK! When you select some text and then choose print selected text from the services menu nothing happens at all. When you selct some text and choose Print area of screen it launches the Grab.app which immediately crashes!
There is also no easy way to uninstall the App once on the Mac - you are left forevermore with the print services selection in the services menu.
I have emailed the author and am waiting a response.
How do I uninstall Print Selection Service?
In Finder go to /Library/Services/ or /Library/Services/ and move Print Selection to the trash. Then log out of your user account.
You rock dude!!! I purchased my first mac Dec 2008 and I absolutely love it, however the lack of a "print selection" feature is dumb and frustrating. Now thanks to this program the issue and annoyance os resolved!!!! Everything works perfect as advertised. Easy to install and use!!! Thanks a bunch to the developer - sell it to MAC and make some cash - Mac should have this included in all their operating systems.
We are long time PC users and just recently purchased an iMac 10.5.3 and were very disappointed that the iMac did not have the Select Print option. We were told it was an old Apple problem.
Our son did some research on the Internet for us and came up with this download. We downloaded it and it works beautifully on 10.5.3 Leopard. We are in our late 70's and need all the help we can get.
Thanks a bunch to the developer.

Awesome software! This programmer is well known in the Mac community for his great apps (http://www.schubert-it.com/). This one is no different. The Command+Shift+T is a great shortcut as well. Something that is surely missing in the Mac systems.
Running flawlessly 10.4.1 (Tiger).

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I'm using v. 10.3.8
If you like to install this service in SL 10.6.7 you have to do it as follows:
1. Install the software
2. locate Print Selection.service inside Macintosh HD/Library/Services
3. Copy or move the application to Macintosh HD/System/Library/Services
4. Log out and in
5. Open Services Preferences (e.g. in Safari), enable Print Selection
6. Voila!
did you follow my instructions step by step?
what is the output on the command line for this command:
find /System/Library/Services -name "Print Selection.service"
Yes, I did follow your instructions exactly with the same dismal result until I activated your suggested command in Terminal. Only then could I cry 'Eureka!' and then 'Voila!!'
A curious difference to before the upgrade and ensuing difficulty: Previously, when I went to Services, a full range of options appeared immediately whether I had made a text selection or not. I now get a menu with a much smaller range of options unless I first select text. Only then do I get a menu with the full range of options. But who's complaining?
So, thank you, muchas gratias, merci, dankeschoen, etc.!
