Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-sendto

Hi, it would be convenient when having to print large amounts of documents, to be able to send them to the printer right from nautilus, without the need to open each specific file and call a print dialogue for it. This would greatly improve the desktop's usability in my opinion.

Please see this mockup:

You can see how you can select send to printer (along with send to evolution, gaim or bluetooth), then under it you can select which specific priner you want to send the document to. Hitting OK would ideally call the new GTK printing dialogue.

I second this. It would be a very useful feature for printing multiple documents. ++ on usability.

Sounds like a good idea... Its often very boring to open all the n chapters of an ebook before printing them.

"importance: Wishlist" - Should be "essential", at least in 2012... No way to batch print, except via the command line. Come on, we sent people to the Mars, and still can't print multiple files at once via the GUI.
