# jQuery Print Plugin
jQuery.print is a plugin for printing specific parts of a page
## Usage
Include it in your HTML after importing jQuery, like:
```html
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="path/to/jquery.print.js" />
```
Use it like:
```js
$("#myElementId").print(/*options*/);
```
or
```js
$.print("#myElementId" /*, options*/);
```
You can submit the options object like:
```js
$("#myElementId").print({
globalStyles: true,
mediaPrint: false,
stylesheet: null,
noPrintSelector: ".no-print",
iframe: true,
append: null,
