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

Hello Chris,
Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family. I would be happy to assist you.
From the description provided, I understand that you are unable to print only the highlighted section in Microsoft Edge.
Please be informed that print by selection feature is not available in Microsoft edge.
Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be glad to help you.
Thank You.
Microsoft has replied several times on this thread that we can't print a selection using Edge and they have no intention of fixing it.
Fixing it would simply require taking code that has worked for years from Internet Explorer and adapting it to Edge. That's something about as difficult for a programmer as copy and paste but they're not going to do it.
The solution for users is to learn to use a different browser. Those of us who use IE now have to learn to use Edge so why not just learn to use Chrome or Firefox instead of another Microsoft Browser.
IE seems to run much slower on Windows 10 that it did on windows 7 so I couldn't stay with IE. Firefox and Chrome seem to run a lot faster.

I work for a large, private insurance company with 70,000 + agents worldwide. Many of us need to print a selection of our claims information on a daily basis. Denying us this function means countless thousands of $ in wasted ink and paper. You have forced me to fall back to IE or try another browser until you come up with a plan to fix this problem. I will share this with my associates and encourage them to do the same.
You also need to restore the "tool bar" selection option. I was a feature that allowed us to tailor our browser and maximize our productivity. This regression shows a distinct lack of understanding of your user's needs. Please restore this function.
So what do we do?
"So what do we do?"
This thread is 5 pages long. In those 5 pages are many suggestions for a work around. All of the suggestions are slower and less efficient and IE was but now that Microsoft seems to have slowed IE it is probably the least efficient.
You could download Google Chrome and Mozella Firefox and learn how to use them. I really like Firefox but I havent' taken the time to learn all the features of either Chrome or Firedox or to customize them to my needs. I don't find "Print Selection" on either of them to be as fast and efficient as the now pretty much defunct IE.
I usually copy and paste the selection you want to print to Word and then print it from there.
Copying to One Note might be faster but I took a look at One Note and decided I have better things to do with my time than sit in front of a PC all day learning a new program.
