I have never tired it, but can you save each as a PRN file, then use a DOS command to print them all? Just ruminating, since I have no idea. I might try it myself sometime though.

If they are all in the same directory, you can select them in your file manager and print them all from the right-click context menu.
I did think this might work for files in different directories, by using Writers's Open dialogue, viewing recently modified files, selecting the documents, and sending them with a right-click. However, it seems the list is dynamically updated, and as soon as the first is sent to the printer, the list is refreshed and the rest of your selection is lost. |

use a macro to print all currently open writer documents:
| Code: | Sub ooo_printAllWriterDocs
' Hilfsfunktionen
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary( "Tools" )
' alle offenen Komponenten
oDoks = StarDesktop.getComponents().createEnumeration()
' Schleife der Komponenten
Do While oDoks.hasMoreElements()
oDok = oDoks.nextElement()
' alle Writer Dokumente drucken
If GetDocumentType( oDok ) = "swriter" Then
oDok.print( Array() )
End If
Loop
End Sub |
Does this help?

Probe, this macro is very nice.
the only problem is that it doesn't allow you to select the printer.
it start printing with the default printer.
is there any way you can modify to access the select printer dialog before starting the job? |
