Was this application specific? I don't see a way to do it directly 
however I can think of one work around:

1) Launch Stickies (Applications -> Stickies)
2) Select the text / graphics you want to print
3) Drag the selection onto a blank stickies note (you may have to hold 
down the mouse button a moment before starting the drag)
4) In the Stickies application you can print the currently active note.

You can sell the side advantage that stickies will keep your tidbits 
around and quickly accessible :)
