About this extension
There are several Add-Ons which allows you to capture a webpage's area, however its primary goal is to save the captured area as an image on your hard-disk. This add-on let's you forward the captured area directly to your printer, thus saving time if what you want is to print captured areas since no need to load and then print the saved image on disk.
On install, a toolbar button will be added to your browser (which you can customize) There's also a item on the right-click context-menu. Use any of them to activate the capturing process. You know, click and drag to select the area to capture - then, as soon you leave the mouse button it'll be automatically sent to the Firefox's PrintPreview window.
Version 0.1.5 introduces a new feature which allows you to save the captured area on the clipboard so that you can paste it anywhere. To do so you need to keep the CTRL key pressed before leaving the mouse button at capturing stage.
On Version 0.1.7+, using either MMB or RMB on the toolbar button will save on the clipboard the whole page or just the visible area, respectively. The ToolTip will remind you the actions.
0.2.0.1 is the first WebExtension version.
With this version we did lost some functionality due the limited WebExtension API

- We can no longer use RMB/MMB on the toolbar button, instead a context-menu was added to it to handle the former copy-to-clipboard operations.
- Sending the captured area to the print preview is now handled through a new window, which you will have to close yourself afterwards. Furthermore, popup blockers may prevents this new approach from working.

Release notes for 0.2.1
Popup blockers will prevent this extension from working normally since we do rely on window.open() to forward the captured area to the printer, the side-effect here was that the whole page would be issued to get printed. On this version we will be show an informative notification about this issue when we do detect a popup blocker.
