Will there only ever be two print choices? Because if it might go to 3, 4 or
more, I'd suggest something like a "Print..." menu item that goes to a
"waystation" dialog with a list field (or the equivalent) that would let
them pick from the kind of printout they want, and might even optionally
display a thumbnail of the output template so they can make an informed
choice. 

Also, are they "in" one of these views in the interface when they go to
choose the printing options? If so, perhaps this could just say "Print..."
(to print the current view) and "Print <the other view>..."

Just a few thoughts...
