I have approx. 75 1-page documents to print before tomorrow morning, as well as a website to design. I was seriously hoping that the "Print..." command in the Finder contextual menu would do the trick with one click, but all it does is open Pages. Thanks. The same goes for the old trick of using "Open with..." Printer Setup Utility.
So what should I do? Opening each file, clicking Cmd-P, OK 75 times over... ugh! Has anyone seen any Pages Automator actions out there? (Of /course/ Apple gives us Keynote actions, but not Pages!) I don't know the first thing about AppleScript, but would it be hard to whip up a short script to automate printing? (If not, and if one of you'd be willing to write one, I'd happily PayPal you over $10 or so.)
I'm desperate! Any ideas?
Edit: I figured it out!
This little tidbit on Apple's site led me to poke around a little more... they don't tell you HOW to get a desktop printer, of course. It's easy, though -- just drag the printer from the Printer Setup Utility onto the desktop and it makes an alias. And, believe it or not, this method lives up to its promises: I dragged all of the files (at once) onto the icon, Pages didn't even think about opening, and my printer started whirring happily. Woo!
I'll leave this post here for future searchers.
