John,
In terms of native solutions, and an alternative would be to have the users checkbox the ones that they want to print, using Grid Edit.
Then make a report of checkboxed Work Orders and Print that Report. When you print the report it will ask you if you want to print as a report or print each record on a new page.
So then that would solve the actual printing issue, so the focus of the discussion would be on what the easiest way would be to reset the checkboxes once they have been printed. The low tech solution for that is simply to grid edit the report of checkboxed Work Orders, but there are also ways to make a button to clear that columns for all records.

Hey I changed one line of code in my demo and after it throws up the two dialog boxes displaying (1) the list of [Record ID#]s selected and (2) the ad hoc query parameter for the list of selected records it then initiates the native print function.
One line of code was changed!
