Automate printing of all files in a subfolder

[Guest]

I want to print all the files in a subfolder regardless of name at one time.

The application I want to print with is Monarch. Hopefully the application
is not relevant.

I know I can probably write a batch file to open Monarch, open a single file
and print it. My question is there a command I can use to open all files
within a folder and print them all. The file names change month to month.

I'm a novice with dos commands and batch files.

Will the command open all of the files at once or will it be smart enough to
open them one by one (open, print, close...rinse repeat).

thanks

Not exactly the solution you're after, but a good alternative method can be
found at:

Although not stated in the article, the solution does work with Windows XP.

If the program supports it (such as Microsoft Word does), you can just open
up the folder with all the documents you want to print, highlight them all
(either with Ctrl+A or dragging the rectangle), and then right-click one and
choose Print from the menu. All highlighted items should open up in their
repective reader, and print, one after another.

I want to be able to do this as well but with a slight variation.

What I want to be able to do is to print a all the files in a folder
with page numbers for the whole print run. I.E. If I have 5 files named
FILEA, FILEB, FILEC, FILED and FILEE each containing two pages, I want
the page numbers to go from 1 to 10.

In addition I would like to be able to print a "contents" page listing
each file name and the page number:

Contents
======

Name Page No

FILEA 1
FILEB 3
FILEC 5
FILED 7
FILEE 9


Any idea how this could be done?

In this case print formatting is handled by the application. In other
words, your ingenuity is what will make that happen.
