How do I send a file to a printer via the run command line or a dos batch command line?

Easy as pie to just drag and drop files into printer icon, but I want to click on icon and send several at once to a printer.

Seems easy, nothing I can find to do it.

Help!

Depends on what file types you want to print and what software you have.

Some Microsoft Office applications have Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) capabilities. You can link other documents within a master document which will change to reflect changes to the linked documents. With that system you could print the master document and the hard copy would reflect the contents of the linked documents at the time you printed the master document. If the respective applications are coded properly the applications that open then master and linked documents to be separately open simultaneously. You might be able to get more detailed information in one of the Office application forums on this site.

Obviously you HAVE to maintain the documents in the proper places for the links to remain valid. This could potentially lead to problems copying the files to another computer or folder.

There are applications from other publishers that can utilize OLE linking.
