special print function

Hello there! I am really new to PHP and in good old copy/paste tradition i was looking for a script that would serve my needs - unfortunately without success. Perhaps some of you could help me? I am looking for a special print function: I have three coloumns on the page. Under each there is a printer icon. When i press the printer icon underneath the left coloumn i only want a print version of that left coloumn. same goes for the middle and right coloumn. Has anyone ever seen a script that can do that? Many thanks for your help! Ines
