Batch print folders
I have a number of folders with word documents in them.
I would like to print them all, but can't figure out how to do it.
I have tried this:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7535595_print-contents-multiple-folders.html
The shell:to option is not showing when I am testing in on 2 folders with two documents.
Also it is not possible to drag the folders to the printer.

Try use command-line
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b PATH\*.doc") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" "PATH\%a" /mFilePrintDefault
or
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b PATH\*.docx") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" "PATH\%a" /mFilePrintDefault
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b PATH\*.doc") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"
or
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b PATH\*.docx") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"

Do you mean like this?
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b P:\test\*.docx") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" "PATH\%a" /mFilePrintDefault
How can this type of command handle multiple folders such as test/test1/doc.docx, test/test2/doc2.docx
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ("dir /b P:\test\*.docx") do "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"

I don't think any of these methods will work because this is intended for users where I work to be able to print zip-files they download with multiple folders and files easily.
It will be to complicated for them to start writing commands that have to be edited each time they download a folder or editing a macro because the path to the folder changes. each time.
Are there no simple ways to accomplish this?
