Print multiple documents through scripts

Question

Hi,I work in a publishing company as a Graphic technician and I need to print several separate files in Illustrator at the same time on a daily basis. I have tried to use actions to print the files but this doesn't really help as even with a recorded action, I still have to press the button Print to actually print the files. Is there a script that I can run that would print all the open files in Illustrator? I've seen other scripts that can save the files as PDF, but none that can print all the open files automatically. I'm not into scripting so I'm not sure how to write the actual script, but will try to add it in if any given a clue. Any help in this would be really great,Thanks

Thank you very much! This works brilliantly!!

Can I please ask if I can put in a line to save and close the open files after printing?

Thank you

Pour vous servir :

// JavaScript Document

#target illustrator

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

var closed = true;

function imprimtous(){

var i, d;

for(i = app.documents.length-1; i>-1; i--) {

d = app.documents[i];

d.print();

if (closed) {

if (!d.saved) d.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

else d.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

}

imprimtous();

Albert and Blake, try downloading the scripts again. The indexes were gone with the forum migration, I just fixed both scripts.
