Another easy terminal command that even I could do. I have written them all
down; I know one day I will need them.
The quick and dirty way I used was simple cmd-F in Finder. Since all the files
had a unique six-letter prefix I entered it into the find box this gave me
3400+
file and 3400+ sub folders. Refining the search to "Image" files gave me the
list of 3400+ TIF's I needed. Then dropping after them all into the desktop
printer icon -- 20 hrs later all files were printed and billed. Thanks, I
promise I will learn terminal, I will learn terminal, I will learn.... --glen
