Using 8.1.2, can I set up a field or text in the Table of Contents that when the user clicks on that chapter it will print out only those pages without having to print out "pages 6-12"?? Kinda like clicking on the TOC to jump to that section only to print the section instead.

One way would be to use the link tool to create a link on the TOC entry. Within the link menu, select "Custom link", under the Link Properties dialog select Actions. From the Actions pull-down select "Run a Javascript". In the Javascipt editor place the following Javascript:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.firstPage = 0;
pp.lastPage = 9;
this.print(pp);

This example prints pages 1-10. Note that the number is 0 based so the first page is 0.
