either this is so obvious I won't believe I couldn't figure out or it doesn't exist. Is there a way to print the contents of a folder? I have a "document" in which each page was created as a seperate file. I want to be able to print the whole thing in one shot w/o having to select each file. Can this be done? (I need to pass this job to someone who isn't that hot with machinery and I worry that having to open 20 different files to print is going to confuse him)

Thanks for the help.

I think you want to print all the files in the folder, not the folder listing. Correct me if I'm wrong. If that's the case, you could either tell him to just select all the files and drag them onto the printer (assuming he's got a desktop printer) or you could create an AppleScript to handle the printing.

i wish apple had retained the old print command present in the mac os 9 finder. with that you would have just highlighted the files and selected File->Print (apple-p) and then the proper apps would have launched, each presenting you with the print dialog and nothing else.

Is dragging the document onto a printer that mcuh more difficult?

given that i don't have a desktop printer icon since i like to keep my desktop sparse, yes.

You can also put them in the Dock.
