How to print multiple files without opening them

During my recent conversation with one of my friends, he mentioned that he had to print a large number of PDF documents. He was frustrated as he had to open each file to send it to a printer for printing. He asked me if there are any ways where he can avoid opening each file before sending it to printer.

Yes, it is possible. I did my testing on Windows 7 PC. There are two ways to achieve this. The easiest way is:

  • Select the multiple files of same format e.g. all PDFs or all DOCXs
  • Right click on any selected file
  • In context menu, click on Print
In this method, you can print up to 15 files together and cannot mix two different types of file format like one PDF document and one word document.

There is another way in which you can print different file formats together. To achieve this, follow these steps:

  • Click on Start and select Devices and Printers
  • Double click on printer to open print queue box
  • Drag files you would like to print into print queue box.
  • Click OK on a dialog box that confirms that you want to print multiple files at once.
I hope you find this article very useful.

Fixed: HTC One M8 USB driver doesn’t recognized by Windows 10

Hi friends, recently I upgraded my Windows 7 OS to Windows 10 on my laptop. Everything was working fine until I plugged my HTC One M8 (Android) phone to laptop using USB cable. A message box appeared stating that it could not detect the USB device. I never had any problem when I was using Windows 7. I used to plug my phone to PC using USB cable and access phone storage as USB drive. I typed my query in google and most of the articles suggested that I should installed HTC Sync Manager and then connect my phone. Well, I installed the required application but it did not resolve the issue. Hence, I removed it. This is my 3 rd HTC phone and I started to find out how I can enable USB debugging mode on my phone. This option is hidden by default. To enable this option, follow these steps:  Go to Settings \ About Select Software Information Click on More  option Now, tap on Build number  option six times in a row.
