This will be a bit tricky. You would need to send the status information 
of your layers to the server side PHP.

The layers are stored in a wms object, which itself is stored in a map 
object. The layer attribute you want to query is "gui_layer_visible". 
Assume you know the name of your map , which is presumably "mapframe1", 
the WMS ID in the database (let's say, 543), and the layer name 
("myLayerName") here's a JavaScript code snippet.

var layer = mb_getLayerObjByName("mapframe1", 543, "myLayerName");

You'll find the function in map.js. Take a look at the file in order to 
learn more. You might also want to take a look at map_obj.js, where the 
wms and layer object are defined. You can retrieve the attribute like this

var myLayersVisibility = layer.gui_layer_visibile;

You could then set the value a hidden form field to myLayersVisibility, 
and by this, send it to the server side.

This is all a bit awkward, as the print module doesn't yet use AJAX. I 
hope this helps at least a bit.
