Printing multiple docs - batch printing - bulk printing jobs

Question

Hi there, 

I routinely have dozens of pdfs or jpgs to print - instead of going in and opening each individual page and printing from "inside" the doc, how can I mass print them all without opening them? 

I have tried to do this following tutorials online, e.g:

1. Mass select then right-click (doesn't work, option not available) 
2. Selecting up to 15 files of the same type (i.e. all pdfs) and then drag and drop directly into printer queue (doesn't work, displays error message) 

That's what I've tried so far and it doesn't work.  I am using Windows 8.  

Any advice?

I've done all this, create a shortcut, etc., but it still doesn't work! 

In relation to an error message, there used to be an error message - I can't remember which one, sorry - but now nothing is displayed, it just doesn't work; no error messages, it simply just won't do anything. 

I'm not using any apps or anything, just trying to do it through Windows.  

If I right-click and look for the option to "print" this isn't available to me. 

This is really, really frustrating.  There MUST be a way to do this!

HELP!!!! 

If there is an app available that would enable me to mass print I'd like to know - any apps available I could use?
