(Oh, the joys of an easily-answered question! :-)

Yes, there is. It's done by using the open printing and close printing
commands, as follows:

  on mouseUp
    open printing         -- optional form: "open printing with dialog"
    print this card
    print card "foo"
    print card ID 2245    -- whatever cards you want to print
    close printing
  end mouseUp

Printing cards in this manner respects the settings in the Print Stack
dialog. If you want to give the user the opportunity to change these
settings before printing, use the optional form "with dialog". The print
command takes any expression that returns a card, so you can specify cards
by name, number, ID, or such constructs as "this card" or "recent card".
