I have a user that has to print out about 220 documents averaging 2-3 pages each. When printed using the standard Windows method of Select All - Right-click - Print it overwhelms either the print server or the printer itself. I am looking for a utility that will allow me to process say 5 documents at a time that will do all of the documents in a given directory. I am hoping this will alleviate strain on the print server and will also allow the user to not have to babysit his print jobs. I found one that lets you schedule a print job for a certain time, but (and maybe this isn't a deal breaker) the spelling in the program is atrocious.

What versions of windows are you using? – Chopper3 Nov 11 '10 at 14:10
also, can you include the name of the program you found already? – MattB Nov 11 '10 at 16:16
What kind of documents? Some solutions only work well, or at all, with certain kinds. – John Gardeniers Nov 11 '10 at 21:40

(Assuming you're talking about MS Word) I'm not a Word expert by any stretch, but you could use a bit of VBA to do the trick, launching winword.exe from a script. I've seen it done, but never got sufficiently involved to provide any more info.
