The file downloads are in PDF format, which explains why you would not be able to print part of a page.

Actually you can print part of a pdf. Not sure if/how it works in Adobe, but if you use the (much better) Foxit Reader (free download) there is a tool called SNAPSHOT (alt 7) which allows you to highlight a section of a page and print just that.

I could not manage without it.

The alternative is to use a screen grabber, but the pdf reader option is good
