If I recall correctly, you can do this by using the onbeforeprint and onafterprint events of the document itself. You'd bind those event handlers to the BODY tag, and have those event handlers programmatically hide and show the elements you don't want to print. So, you might have something that looks like this: <body onbeforeprint="hideStuff();" onafterprint="showStuff();"> ... Then, within the hideStuff function, you'd manipulate the styles of the things you don't want to show, changing their "visible" property to hide them, and you'd do the reverse in the showStuff function. I may be off on some of the details, though, since it's been a while since I've looked at this.
