Print Selection
Print Selection is a macOS utility that lets you selectively print snippets from web pages, emails, and documents without wasting ink on unwanted content like banner ads or comments. It integrates with the system as both a menu-bar application and a service, allowing direct printing from Safari, Mail and other apps. The app includes a grayscale toggle to save color ink for images that matter. It is designed for users who frequently print portions of web content or documents rather than full pages.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPrint Selection has not been updated since 2016 and shows no signs of active development. There is no native Apple Silicon build, and the app will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). For basic selective printing, most users can achieve similar results through built-in macOS features: Safari and Mail both offer print-preview modes where you can select and copy text before printing, and macOS system Print dialogs allow you to scale, position and crop content. If you frequently print web snippets, consider using your browser's built-in Reader mode (available in Safari, Chrome and Firefox) to clean up articles before printing. For more advanced needs, apps like Coherence X or Paw (for API documentation) offer better printing workflows and run natively on Apple Silicon. If Print Selection is critical to your workflow, begin exploring alternatives now and migrate your printing process before September 2028.
