Hi, Duke.  Sorry that I'm responding a bit late.  Maybe you've got your
own solution so far?

Here's my solution.  I'm using VIM with Mutt (ie I have a line like this
in .muttrc).
  set editor=vim

In the index or pager session I invoke the edit function of Mutt, which
is usually bound with "e".  VIM launches with a message of my selection.
Then I use the save command ":w" redirecting the output to printer 
(:w >> prn).

HTH
