My students use Google Drive to complete assignments and printing is actually rarely necessary. However, they have completed a large paper and I have created a folder for each hour containing their Google Documents that they created.

My computer is connected, through the network, to many printers and I am using Windows 7 and also using Google Chrome as my browser.

When I select all the files(documents) in a folder and right click, I do not see a print option.

It there a way to select them and print them without opening them individually?

If not, is the only alternative to download them as Word docs and print them? I did this as an attempt, but they printed oddly. Is there a better(simpler) format that I should use if this is the only option?

No responses, but my research has concluded that you can not batch print. 🙂
