It's much faster to print straight from FM then to make a PDF every time
I want to print a page or two. Before I finish the doc, I change the
printer to PDF, review the pagination and update the book.
I could try the Save as PDF option.

I strongly suggest that you reconsider your workflow instead. First, there is
no reason to print to file in order to create a PDF. If you're using a very old
version of FM or are still superstitious about using Save As PDF, simply select
Adobe PDF as your printer and leave Print to File turned off. You'll be
prompted to choose a file name and location, and your PDF will be created
directly by the same process as if you'd printed to a PostScript file and then
distilled it.
Second, it's a bad idea to keep changing printers from Adobe PDF to a physical
printer and back again, which generally causes the available fonts to change,
potentially affecting the formatting and pagination of the document.
If you're creating PDFs, print the PDFs, not the FM files. I recommend
installing the SetPrint plugin from sundorne.com, which makes Adobe PDF your
default printer in FM regardless of what you default printer is in Windows.
