printing cross sections of a STL file in 2d

Hello,

I am hoping I can get some answers to a question I have been having all kinds of problems with. Assuming I have an STL file, and I want to print the cross sections onto paper in the same way that they would be deposited by a rapid prototyper what is the best way to do so? At worst I could use a freeware viewer and just print screen/ print screen to file type of operation but I would think simpler methods exist.

More importantly what is the best software package to do this often?

Thanks for any help
