How to Print Word Documents Without Opening Them

01/12/2010 5:45 PM

We got IE7 at work. I need to print like 100 procedures. These are word document linked on the web page. I tried

1)

file>print> 'options' tab> 'print all linked documents'. However, only thing that managed to do was waste paper as that printed only the url at the bottom and the page # at the top.

2)

right click on the link to the document > print target -- same result as above

Does anyone know of any add-in or trick that will let me print these word documents without opening them?

Thanks!

Never needed to. I think you need to download them then group print them. If the documents are imbedded links on a web page you could try a drag and drop download program like Getright (or similar), otherwise queue and save. Note that even if you want to open and view the documents directly from the web you still need to download a copy to your computer, so printing from the website won't be any faster than downloading and printing from the computer.

Group selecting the downloaded word documents and clicking print auto loads and prints them one after another without opening a new window for each (at least on my computer), making the process quite automated. This is the simplest way I can think of and probably wouldn't take that long (or require that much user input).

thanks jack!

I don't care much about time. I can start "auto" printing them and then go to lunch or do it at the end of the day.

I like the idea of group printing the downloaded documents. If I can figure out a way to group download them or find them on one of the shared drives ... that would make my life easy.

If the documents are the company website or server, talk to your IT department (although since its only 100 of them it may be quicker to do it yourself than to get them to set you up with access rights or to email them to you.)

Hello.

You have to download all the docs to your hard drive then group select and print them.
