I know this is een old post but I stumbled on it by looking for something else.
Printing a selection of pages after a mail merge has always been a problem and still is.
The mailmerge documents are seperated by section breaks instead of page breaks.
Printing "current page" can help, this always works.
But if you have several pages a solution could be to first replace the section breaks by page breaks.
(I use a Dutch Word, so forgive me if some of the terminology is not translated correctly).
This is how it works:
Go to "Zoeken en vervangen" (Find and Replace)
Click "Zoeken naar" (Find (?))
Select "Meer" (More (?))
Select "Speciaal" (Special (?))
Choose "Sectie-einde" (Section Break or type ^b)
Click "Vervangen door" (Replace by)
Select "Speciaal" (Special (?))
Choose "Handmatig Pagina-einde" (Manual page break or typ ^m
Click "Alles vervangen" (Replace all)
You should be able to print from page X tot XXX without a problem.
