Hi Hanen Ben Rhouma ,

you can use the following command to print multiple files , say for example you have pdf files then ,

$ lp *.pdf -d name_of_your_printer

This does not work in Jaunty with the cups-pdf printer. Only the first file in the list gets printed.

Some more searching produced a bash script:

for arg
do
lpr $arg -P [name of printer]
done

If installed as a nautilus-script, you can use it to multiple select files in Nautilus and right-click print them all.

Can you help with this problem?
