Does anyone know how to set up a script or some sort of automation in order to print seperate multiple quark documents. We set up our files 1 page per Quark document for various reasons, so printing multiple pages sucks. We have to open each one up then hit "Cmd P" then "printer" then "print" then "print" again. Its really tedious, im hoping there is an easier way.

If you work on a Mac, just drop the lot of Quark files onto the printer icon. 8)

Thanks for the tip, although this was working perfectly for some reason it loops back to the first page i printed and runs the whole lot over and over again. for example if i drag in 3 pages, it will open up the pint dialog 6 times, 3 times for each page. 4 pages, it will open up the print dialog 8 times, 4 times for each page. etc.. let me know if you know whats going on?

Was a resolution ever found for this "looping" problem that exists in QXP 7.x when dragging doc icons to the desktop printer icon? We were able to do this very nicely with QXP 6.x but once we upgraded to 7 -- the "looping" began. Have tried dragging other file types to the printer icon and they print just the one copy of each and close them with no looping so the problem is DEFINITELY with QXP 7. Huge PITA that shouldn't need to be resolved by having to purchase a third-party product such as BatchPrint. Please help Quark! We have a catalog page layouts that are generated as separate QXP files and when we need to print them for a quick presentation -- it isn't so "quick".
