I have never tried this in this way until I followed your
instructions. Sure enough, in FinMac 2009, the drum part suddenly
turns into individual bars rest upon hitting Print.
I suspect that multimeasure rests are automatically broken when staff
styles are applied, and you don't see it until some kind of page
updating is performed upon printing.
I was going to suggest instead editing the multimeasure rest (Edit
menu>Multimeasure rests>Edit...) and setting the Shape to zero and
the number to start numbering at to 100 or some large number, but
that too gets set to the default upon printing.
This seems to be a big, hairy bug.

Drum part goings on!
In my drum parts, when there are long stretches of playing time, I
leave that time as empty measures and then when I do the part I use
the "blank" staff style to cover up the rest numbers and then from
my own text library I put in bold letters "PLAY 16".
On a drum part I was doing today all was well until I pressed the
"print' button. Whereupon it instantly reverted to all 16 barlines
and printed out that way. This is using linked parts in 2008b.
Anyone else seen this?
