lpr printing limit of 25 files

[mathew amundsen]

I have large numbers of postscript file I need to download
to an lpr printer. I have created a batch file with the
following command: lpr -P printer -S 13.239.48.12 %~nx1

This file is placed on the XP desktop with the name
lpr.bat. Files are then drag & dropped on to the icon for
the bat file and they print. I can drag up to 25 files in
a batch to the icon and they print. But I can't drag more
than 25 at a time. I need to drag up to 500 files at a
time for download to the printer. How can I get beyond
the 25 file limit?

If they are all in the same folder you could probably do this from the
command line using the for command. Just go to the command prompt and type
"help for" for more details.
