Is there a way to print multiple scenes without having to go to each tab one at a time?

Use LayOut for that. Set up a viewport for each scene. Then either print directly or export a PDF for printing.

Or you could export images using the native Animation export option and then print the resulting images.

Thanks everyone for your input. I did a further search and found something that is useful at

Here are the steps proposed:

1. Go to Window → Model Info → Animation → uncheck the Scene Transitions box.
2. Go to the File menu → Export → Animation → Image Set
3. Use the Options button to adjust the size of the images.
4. Export animation.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t understand fully what you meant until I found the step-by-step.
