I also agree with all the comments made below. One more thing to add. If you have Rational's SoDA, it is very easy to have it print a sequence diagram (fit to page and all that) then look at the notes on the diagram to see if there is any "hyperlinked" diagrams in those notes. You could then follow those links and print those as well. Thus, you could automatically print an entire grouping. Very handy.
