Default "Pausing" a macro for recalculation

I've posted this in the .misc group, but was advised to try my luck
here.

I have a workbook containing several sheets. In one of them there's
a list of organizational units. I've written a macro that grabs
selected unit identifiers from the sheet "F Units", copies them one
by one to a cell called Filter, and prints sheets with diagrams and
statistics for each of the units.

The procedure sometimes partly fails, as the filter isn't applied
to the statistics sheet. I guess this happens because the sheets
are printed before Excel finishes recalculating. If this is true, I
believe I can prevent the error by adding a "Wait" command, halting
the printing process for something like 3 seconds.

How can I do this? (Part of) the macro appears below.

---

Sub Print_selected_C_and_D()

For Each cell_in_loop In Selection
Set TargetSheet = Sheets("C Diagram")
TargetSheet.Range("Filter").Value = ActiveCell.Value
Sheets(Array("C Diagram", "D Statistics")).Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Sheets("F Units").Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Next
