I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to print all the MS Word Documents in a given folder. I'm thinking AppleScript is maybe the solution but no experience with it and not sure where to start. Is there an AppleScript Library out there somewhere??? Maybe I'm overlooking another obvious solution.

TIA

Give this a shot: DropPrint

Create a Desktop printer and drag (the selection of documents) and drop to it.

To create a Desktop Printer, launch /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility, highlight the printer you want to create it for and press command-shift-D (Create Desktop Printer... under the Printers menu fwiw).

Once created, you can drag that desktop printer to your Dock and to the sidebar in your Finder windows so that it is always accessible.

Edit: Re-reading your post, I take it that you might not want to have to select documents to do this - do you want to have a folder and have something that will filter through all the files, find all your .docs and then just print those?

What I want is to be able to print all the documents that reside in the folder without dealing with the print dialog window for each doc. I tried the desktop printer approach and when I dropped the folder onto the DT printer it printed a list of the docs in the folder (not each doc). Am I missing something???

Try dragging the actual documents.

Some file formats, like pdf and jpg, are printed fast, without the need to open an app. In the case .doc files, it'll probably pop up Word, but hopefully bypass the dialog.
