hmmmm..
Just an idea:
It is possible to include a CSS for printing that sets all elements to
display:none except for a single control (by classname) and it's children.
If you did this and then set the classname of your table widget
manually... it *might* work. The user would then just be able to click
print and it would only print the table. It would still be at the same
size that it would be on screen though :(
As I said it's just an idea, perhaps other people will be able to extend
it a little further, ot come up with something better?
