How to print selected div instead complete page

Try this

<style type="text/css">
@media print
{
body * { visibility: hidden; }
.div2 * { visibility: visible; }
.div2 { position: absolute; top: 40px; left: 30px; }
}
</style>

Using my following solution you can print the specific div content from your web page if you don't want to print your full page.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.1.min.js" > </script> 



<script type="text/javascript">

    function PrintElem(elem)
    {
        Popup($(elem).html());
    }

    function Popup(data)
    {
        var mywindow = window.open('', 'new div', 'height=400,width=600');
        mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>my div</title>');
        /*optional stylesheet*/ //mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css" />');
        mywindow.document.write('</head><body >');
        mywindow.document.write(data);
        mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');

        mywindow.print();
        mywindow.close();

        return true;
    }

</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="yourdiv">
    Div you want to print. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque a quam at nibh adipiscing interdum. Nulla vitae accumsan ante. 
</div>

<div>
    This will not be printed.
</div>

<div id="anotherdiv">
    Nor will this.
</div>

<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="PrintElem('#yourdiv')" />

</body>
</html>

Live Demo


<script type="text/javascript">
    function printDiv() {    
    var printContents = document.getElementById('Your printable div').innerHTML;
    var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;
     document.body.innerHTML = printContents;
     window.print();
     document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
    }
</script>
