Printing several HTML files

I want to print multiple HTML files located in the same folder. I opened the
folder and select the files that wanted to print. Then, I pressed the right
button on the mouse and select "Print" from the menu. On some PCs, nothing
happened. On other PCs, I got the Print dialog box and I had to click to on
the OK button to print. Then, the Print dialog box will open again. This
repeated for each file that I selected. If I selected 5 files to print, I had
to close the Print dialog box 5 times. On one particular PC, when I did the
same procedure, instead of seeing the Print dialog box, MS Word actually
opened all the files that I selected.

Does someone know why I kept getting different behaviors on different PCs?
Is there a way to print multiple files to the default printer without having
to keep clicking the OK button on the Print dialog box? If the Print dialog
box does not show, how can I make it to show up?

Thanks,

RJ
 
Printing HTML files as they appear in a web page can be problematic.
Some of the obvious differences might be:
Printer and drivers, including some HTML printer utilities (Canon, Epson)
Different versions of Office and addons or file converters, includes HTML
handlers and editors (For instance, I use a version of Office XP that can
display and edit the source for an HTML file in word. Printer behavior in
printing an HTML file from word seems to be related to the printer and
driver more so than word.
Different GUI & video driver versions (seems unrelated, but turns out to be
a possible player)
Printer settings (sometimes "scale to fit" or "reduce" helps, other times
not). "RAW" usually helps
Third party utilities may provide or enable a scheme that allows a user to
"drop" the files in a folder, and then print the folder contents.
Printer driver settings that allow the user to preview the printing results
may need to be turned off.
