OK, Apple may have removed this handy feature from OS 9 in the OS X desktop, but there's got to be a way of sending multiple files to the printer, doesn't there?

Does anyone know of any utilities, or have any clues about writing an Applescript or something? I'm NO Applescripter, so I wouldn't know where to start.

It really bugs me having to individually press Apple-P for 10-20+ open windows sometimes!!!
Computer thez nohhh...

And it annoys me that I cannot press CMD-P in the finder at all, even to print a single file!

I used that a lot in Mac OS 9.

A drag-and-drop AppleScript to do the batch printing you're after should be very easy to do. I don't know if you can select printers easily in AppleScript, but to go the the default printer should be easy.
