What I am after is a tool which can print files all in one go.
I found this application z-print (www.imagecap.com)

Basicaly you can select you directory (and sub folders) select your
windows printer and all the files in that folder/s will get printed.

I have CD's which contain many folders and hundreds of PDF files. (its
a legal application) The z-print works a charm but is very expensive.
I have searched the net for hours but could only find apps that print
directory listings....not the actual files.

Is there anything out there which is shareware or alot cheaper?

Thanks in advance!
