Windows 2000 Printing all items in a folder.

We have a situation where we need to print all files that are in a folder.
The user would put a number in a prompt that appears. The number would
correlate to a specific folder and print all items in that folder. The
folder would consists of word, excel, PDF's and certain images.

All I really need is the right command(s) to print the items in the folder.

Is there command, script or third party software that can accomplish this?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jasper
 
Below is the code to print all files of a given extension. Assuming all of
the files in the folder have an application associated with it that supports
the Print Verb, meaning that you can Right-Click the file and "Print" is on
of the chooses, then you could do away with the Extension check.



sEXT = "txt"
sFdr = "D:\Scripts\Inventory\Reports"

Set oFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFsFdr = oFS.GetFolder(sFdr)

Set oShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set oShFdr = oShellApp.Namespace(sFdr)

For Each oFile In oFsFdr.Files
If UCase(oFS.GetExtensionName(oFile.Name)) = uCase(sExt) Then
oShFdr.ParseName(oFile.Name).InvokeVerb("&Print")
End If
Next

Just in case.............
if you have ACDSee, CTRL G will "generate a file listing"
