Not that I know - anyhow not without un-setting the condition.

Well, in a corporate environment it might be not too difficult to make a 
simple build in function (basic) that sets a property, shows the printer 
dialogue, and resets the property. To bestarted via men/toolbar/shortcut.

Another option: use a special paragraph style for the text with 
explanation. And set the property of that text to hidden. Depending on 
print option settings (of course :-) ) it won't print...
