I don't believe there's a solution in the product itself, which is why
things like http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/print_tools/ are available for
purchase.

If, on the other hand, you're comfortable programming, you might want to
head over to http://www.outlookcode.com and discuss ways to write code to do
this, since at a technical level, it is possible.
 
Here's a sample:
http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?mnu=2&smp=3&cmd=showitem

- Open the VBA IDE with ALT+f11 and copy the code into 'ThisOutlooksession'.

- The path in ATT_PATH must exist.

- At the end of the code, the line
Case ".xls", ".doc"
tells which documents are printed. Extend the comma separated list with
all of the file extensions you want to be printed.

After the code modifications, save the project and close the VBA IDE, ensure
that under Tools/Macro/Security the security allows to run VBA code (low or
medium), close Outlook and restart it.

Thank you for the information below. My German is quite rusty. Could you
provide the sample in English? I'd love to try it out.
