How to print only what you want to in Chrome

Learn how to add a print selection tool to Chrome so you can skip printing the things you don't need.

Despite having laptops, tablets, and smartphones, sometimes you want or need a hard copy of something from the Web.

Unfortunately, most Web sites are packed with miscellaneous junk that you don't need on your printed pages. That's why there's a Chrome extension that lets you pick which parts of aWeb page you want to print--saving ink, paper, and--most importantly--money.

Head over to the Chrome Web Store and install Print Plus.
