When I was in Salt Lake City I didn't want to take the time to take the microfilm to the printer to make a copy of just one entry on the page. I used my smartphone to take a picture of the item and e-mailed it to myself with a note of what it was, and all the identification information (e.g., film number, the library in question, etc.). It worked great.
