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.

Regards,
Pete
