Don't print certain elements from a page

[Otto Wyss]

I'd like to print a page but would exclude all elements but one (a
table). I've successfully removed all elements from printing with a
print.css

@page { size: portrait; margin: 2.5cm 1cm 1.5cm 1.5cm; }
* {
display: none;
}

yet that doesn't produce the desired result. How do I include the single
table I'd like to print? Or do I have to remove any none print element
by itself? How should I do this?

Depends on the page layout. * will select 'body', so this wil have no
display, whatever you set subelements to. I usually can turn elements on &
off by their id, so a default print.css for me usually looks something
like:

#header,#footer,#navigation{display:none;}
#content{display:block;margin:0}

Yes, but you have to give all your headers on each page the id "header"
or use separate print.css for different pages. I'd like a more general
solution if possible.

Well, same layout, same id's. Other layout, other id's, and ofcourse
another stylesheet. You can fiddle about with javascript, wouldn't
recommend it though.
