I am not an expert on lab logistics in AC by any means, but I am confused by this statement. I don't see why you would have to re-type the order. After printing, the Print Window disappears, and you still have the same options to Save "without sending" or Send Orders, either of which will save the order to the Plan section while the Send Orders also sends them to the user's inbox, therefore allowing you to save it to visit history and View --> Orders.
