First of all, I cannot preview how the selection will printed on paper
with Opera. When I select some part of the page and choose the "Print
Preview", Opera just shows everything removing my selection. On the
other hand, MSIE has a preview dialog, and if I choose "As selected on
screen", it shows exactly what it would look like when printed.

Second, when I chose "Selection" at the print dialog, the actual print
out was dissatisfactory. All formats and colors were removed, and I
got only black plain text. I guess it's due to Opera didn't understand
the CSS attributes that were not located in the selection but
elsewhere.

Opera is great but I think printing funtionality of MSIE 7 is better
than Opera's.
