I would just copy the View I wanted to use for printing, delete the columns from it and print.
Then if I always printed using the same columns, keep the new View, with an appropriate name. If I always changed the columns, delete it and recreate what I wanted next time.
If I had multiple Views for printing and was keeping them, I would probably create a "Print" View group, and put all Views I used for printing in there so that the left Navigation Bar didn't get cluttered by them.
If they were a mix of Movies, Shows, and Audio Views I would just need to make sure that the rules included the correct Media Type and Sub Type, rather than have the Views inherit the parent View rules.
PS: But I do use the Copy and Paste into Excel method myself, as I have Excel on my Workstation, which when connected as a Client of my HTPC gives me full access to the data for copying.
