To clarify a little for other, possibly new, users:
Ricks response allows the staff to be still active in the editor and is a technique also used for staff reduction in a full score when the staff in question is composed of rests.

For a more general approach, in page setup there is a Contents tab which allows control of what is visible in the editor - this will also affect what is printed as anything invisible in the editor is also not printed.

I use this approach when extracting parts - turn off everything except the part I want to print, print the part, then go back and change the selection to the next part...

Another application for this is adding the keyboard accompaniment to a choral score and then hiding those staves. Clicking "Play" will give the full arrangement, but the printed music for the choir members is more compact.
