I do think that being able to print sections of pages is a useful feature. I'm
not sure the Inspector is the right place for this, though. Here are the
pros/cons I see of having this in the Inspector

Pros:
1. There's already a way to select a section of a page (by selecting a DOM
node)
Cons:
1. The Inspector is a feature that only web developers are expected to have
enabled
2. It's not clear to non-expert users what the DOM tree means, so it's hard to
expect them to know how to select what they want
3. All other printing-related features are in the browser chrome, so
introducing a printing feature to the Inspector would create quite a disconnect

I think it makes far more sense to have this as a feature of the browser. Would
you be so kind as to file a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com/ ?
