I want to make sure that I'm understanding you correctly. when you say "one staff," do you mean printing one instrument part from a score, or do you mean print one actual staff from one individual part? I'm going to assume that you mean to print one part from a score. this will result in several staves of that same part on one or more sheets of paper. When you print a part in Sibelius 5.x or later, you first press the letter W while focused on the staff you want in the score. This will bring up the individual part. If the part has several consecutive measures without music, these measures will be consolidated by Sibelius into one bar with a large black line across it and a number above that line indicating the number of measures rest. Note: It is important that there be no music in these bars in the score. You must not write whole rests in these bars in the score yourself. If you do, the parts will assume that there are notation symbols in the music and the measures of rest will not be consolidated as described above. If you have no vision, the way to test whether your part has consolidated rests is to CTRL right arrow through your individual part. Each measure should read out a number as you go through it. If there is a multi measure rest, you'll notice a gap in the bar counting. I suppose you could make absolutely sure you have what you need by getting sighted help.
