flowchart

We've created a flow chart using Visio that has multiple layers. (The background is that each layer represents variations on a basic process.)

Now we want to be able to print each layer individually. Currently this involves lots of clicking to select the correct layer and and then press print - then repeating this for each of the 10 layers.

Is there a simpler way? E.g. define each layer once and use a "print each layer" tool / macro?
