Command Line Printing

Suppose I have a directory full of .rtf files, is there a way that I can tell OpenOffice or another program that I can use in conjunction to print all of the files, properly formatted, without having to open them all individually?

When you say "formatted" I think that may be the sticking point. For simple text files, I would guess that "lp" would print in bulk.

MSOffice allows you so select multiple files for printing--I don't know if OpenOffice has any similar functionality.

Google using something like: "OpenOffice batch printing"
