How do I print a batch of word files in a directory?
Create file in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and name it 'Print selected' or however you want. Copy paste this into it:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
do
lpr $i
done
Make it executable, restart Nautilus. Now you'll be able to print selected file(s) with right clicking the selection and choosing 'Print selected' from Scripts menu.
cd into the directory and then run something like find . -name "*.doc" -exec lpr {} \;
