That is eaxctly the direction I don't want/need: I want to print the files without intervention. I don't even want to select the files to print: my Python script does that for me. And after the printing, it moves the files to a 'done' directory. And just for completeness: it does not print 3 copies of each file, it prints 2 copies of each file, and then prints 1 copy of each file. I copy is for my archive, so now I don't have to gather those single copies from the pile. Someone else mentioned a Python interface to OpenOffice: I will certainly look into that!
