The method I often use is to use Windows Explorer. With Explorer, you can
select the files you want to print and then go to File, Print,

Voila!! Everything is printed automatically using whatever application is
required to open those files. You can continue doing something else on your
computer assuming it has adequate resources like memory, processor speed etc
etc.
