I have been reading MacOSXHints for quite some time. In an effort to contribute and not just leech, here is a hint that I find useful daily. I miss the "Print Selection" option found in some browsers on Windows. I find this useful to quickly print directions, recipes, or anything else where I want an unformatted plain text print out.
Combining some AppleScript and Terminal commands, I created an AppleScript addition that allows me to select text in my browser (currently Camino), click one button, and send it to my default printer. Two items need to be placed on your system to get this to work:
#! /bin/sh
pbpaste | lpr
I saved this as ~/Documents -> Scripts -> sel_lpr.shtell application "Camino"
activate
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
do shell script "~/Documents/Scripts/sel_lpr.sh"
This is, of course, saved in ~/Library -> Scripts -> PrintSelected.app.Mac OS X Hints
