When I try to print the webpage, only the frame appears in the print when using IE or other browsers. However, through the google chrome, the whole page gets printed.

I have done a little research and found out that adding the OpenFrame plugin would do the trick. However, I am looking for the solution without the plugins. Our product is used by a number of customers and we can't ask them to install any plugins.

Can we fix this by making CSS changes or scripts.

Using JavaScript you can print frames independently, e.g.

top.frames[1].print()

If you include a print button or listen to print events, you can call your print function that prints only the frame you want.

Or you can use CSS @media print to set what gets printed
