Printing multiple pdf files at once

I have tons of invoices I need to print up. They were things I should have printed along all year, but I opted to save as pdf instead, now I need them on paper! Is there a way, perhaps with a workflow or 3rd party software, that I can select them in the finder and print them without opening each individual file and printing them one at a time? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

WOW! Are you serious? It's that easy! As always, V.K., you are a life saver!

Hmmmm, I don't have a printer icon in the dock, though. I probably didn't realize the power in that little icon, and got rid of it. I'm looking for it now, how do I bring it back?

I also have a need to print many PDF documents from the same folder. Your recommendation to drag the files to the printer icon almost does the trick. The problem is that the printout is clipped. If I open and print the individual files I am given the option to fit the document to the paper size and all is well. If I drag directly to the icon no option at all is presented and, in my case, the document size exceeds the paper size. Is there a way to set the "Page Scaling" in the dragging operation? I have an Epson R340 printer.

Thanks for any help you can give.
