just off the top of my head, would a print stylesheet do the job??

use if to set display:none on the elements you don't want to print.
Obviously will only work on browsers that support it (ie5 and above i
think), but certainly a neat and efficient way, preferable to frames imho.

use

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css">

placed in the head of the document AFTER you current stylesheet (if your
using one)

Sorry I can't offer more, haven't actually used a print stylesheet myself :)

cheers
