It's a pity Rev doesn't allow you multiple keystroke shortcuts, ie it would
be good in this situation to be able to setup cmd opt P to invoke the other
print option. Actually Rev does allow you to allocate cmd opt P as a
shortcut, unfortunately it doesn't display opt with the standard symbol,
instead displaying π, which of course is what you get when you press opt p,
but would be thoroughly confusing to any user :-(

If there are likely to be more than just two, then probably:
Page Setup...
Print...    cmd P  --Prints whatever view your in
Print Other --with appropriate sub menus for all the other views
