In need of a tricky Print link

Hello All,
I am creating a tabbed menu,with the help of Milonic of course, inorder to provide a notebook appearence. Each tab will have links listed under them that open MS Word files. That's the easy part. The hard part: I need to add a print link that would send all the MS word files on one tab to the printer just by clicking the print link once. If anyone has an idea or knows of a helpful site that would make my day.

Is this a Milonic 'submenu' from the tab?

Yes it is. I just found out that what I want to do can't be done becuase a web browser dosn'e have enough tools in it to acomplish this. A web browser can't spool print jobs that way. I don't know, I guess I learned something new

This may be totally something from left field...especially since I have no idea about printing, printspools and such. However, if I'm reading this correctly, what you want to happen is to click a link and have all the files that could be opened from a particular submenu printed. If that is correct, have you thought about actually putting all the files from each submenu into one 'print' file and having that file printed from a link? I think the file might have to be open to print, but I don't know. Perhaps it would be just an added option for anyone who wanted to print all the files instead of one or two of the documents.
