About: Print This
"Print This" is an Apple Script application
made so that when you are not near a printer and you have a lot of
documents to print you can get them all ready to print by dragging
them all onto the "Print This" application. Then when you
get to a printer you double click on "Print This" and all
the documents are automatically printed. "Print This" will
only set the documents to be printed once. If it has already set that
document to print it will not print it again.
"Print This" will setup a folder to store all of its files. It creates
alias in that folder to the documents that you tell it to print.
