I think that the simpliest way to do it is to go through LaTeX with
the whole document but to PRINT only the pages you are interested
in.

If you use DVILN03 or DVITOLN3, the command would be

DVITOLN3 filename /s=x /n=y

where x is the Startpage and y the Number of pages to be printed.

Good luck.
