psselect, in the psutils package, will do this. You can also mark
individual pages of a document in gv, and then print marked pages.
You may want to put page 45 in its own file and then try running ps2ps
on it, like
ps2ps page45.ps newpage45.ps
which may produce something your printer likes more.
Good luck,
