    When using Internet Explorer, I could print a highlighted selection on a page.  I cannot find a way to do this in Windows10 Edge.

    As already mentioned, that particular feature is not available in Edge. I agree, the decision to not include it sucks big time.

    However, all is not lost, there's still a way to print small selections found on screen when viewing a web page in Edge...

    1. Hit the 'print screen' key on your keyboard. - If you use OneDrive, then you'll probably see a window prompt offering to send the screenshot to the cloud. Just hit 'No Thanks', if you don't want to use that method. Cloud printing is another option to try, but I personally do not use that method and wouldn't be of any assistance there. What I do continues onto to the next step...
    2. Open 'mspaint', which you can do from the Windows 'run' menu command, or simply use the Windows key + R.
    3. Click the 'paste' option found in the upper left of the mspaint controls.
    4. Use the mspaint quick menu, or File menu, to Print the image. I would suggest using the Print Preview option first so you don't accidently waste printing supplies.

    Unfortunately, for larger selections you would have to scroll the web page and print another screenshot, but this method works perfectly for content fitting in one screen. Of course, you could also play around with the ZOOM feature in Edge and sort of force-fit what you want onto 1 page, but poor eyesight may be another issue dictating personal preferences.

    You can do all of that .... OR ... just use a different web browser that has what you're looking for. It's probably one of the reasons why Microsoft still has Internet Explorer included in the Windows 10 package. The option to Print As Selected is STILL in IE during the Print Preview option, just FYI.

    (just dropping this note here - I will not be notified of any responses)
