If I understand your question right, you want to print all three cards (with the controls correctly hidden) in a single print job - is that right?

You can do this by using open printing and close printing:

  open printing -- optionally add "with dialog" if you want the print dialog box
  hide button "Unprintable" of card 1
  print card 1
  show button "Unprintable" of card 1
  hide button "Dont Print Me" of card 2
  print card 2
  show button "Dont Print Me" of card 2
  hide button "Please no pictures" of card 3
  hide group "Eek!" of card 3
  print card 3
  show group "Eek!" of card 3
  show button "Please no pictures" of card 3
  close printing -- prints all three cards
