I'm wondering if anyone knows of a plug-in that will allow you to print just a Layer-Set? Our way of production now is to turn on and off layers sets as we print each one separately, but then the file name remains the same and it's hard to discern which page may need to be reprinted if there happens to be an error. The only other work around we have done is to create postscript print files of each layer set, rename them and then send to our printer. Anyone have other suggestions? Or know of a plug-in that would help?

You colud try to select the layer you want to export on the layers palette, click the little arrow icon in the top right corner of the layers palette to open the menu, and select "duplicate layer". When the dialog opens in the document pull-down menu select "New" and click ok. Photoshop will now open a new document that has the name of the layer you just duplicated, so you just have to save it now...
Though this isnt really a plugin to fully automate this process, and it maybe sounds like a long process, it saves you time and you dont have to type or copy/paste the layer name for every single layer. When you get comfortable with this it goes really fast... well, at least, it works for me :) ...

Hope this has been of some helped...
