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.

    You gotta be kidding me?! How the heck do you think you get back browser market shares lost to Chrome and Firefox if Edge doesn't even have such basic features as "print by selection"? I might try again with, say, version 10 or so. I'll go back to Chrome now, shaking my head on the way....

    Has Microsoft been notified of this gross oversight?  If not who can do so?

    This is a must feature for me and for almost everyone! What happened with common sense at Microsoft?

    Who and on what basis did Microsoft decide that this feature should not be included?

    If anyone listens at Microsoft, please add this feature ASAP because there wouldn't be many people left using Edge within a few months.....and without say good buy to Bing use and all the other tools that essential in making Windows 10 a success!

    For example Microsoft print to PDF has issues for many people, for me works but no option to save the file where I want....and docs with Microsoft print to PDF (tried to an Excel file) do not open with Adobe. Don't people test these basics before they put them on?

    Thanks Microsoft for Listening!

    Response from Sayan_Ghosh "MS Support Engineer" was not helpful at all!

    He could have at least linked Windows User Voice:

    https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/285214-microsoft-edge/suggestions/9156475-print-selected-text

    or, three options as suggested in the other Answers post:

    1. Copy & paste into a word document
    2. From the 3 dots of Edge, change to Internet Explorer and print selection

    3. Use Chrome browser to print selection.
