Is there a way to add a print button to a particle that works similar to the print button for articles? In other words it just prints the content of the particle, not the entire page around it?

Well, I found a solution of sorts. It isn't quite what I was looking for, but works for my application. I am using the particle as if it were a full article to get the effects from the particle, so I am not using the link options in the particle itself.
I added "Modules Anywhere" (
www.regularlabs.com/extensions/modulesanywhere
) to my site, created an article and then called for the module in the article. I can then turn on and off the article options (print icon, etc...).
I then added a link to the article in the particle options and labeled the link "View Printable Version".
Now the visitor has a button they can click, that opens the article (with the module embedded) and they can click the print icon and only print the contents of the article.
Again, not exactly what I wanted, but it gets the job done. It would have been nicer to just add a print icon to the existing page (from the visitors viewpoint).
