The windows command line command is "PRINT" - I would think it should work
just fine.
Also note that (cool trick) if you open the "printers" control panel (so
that you see the icons representing your printers) you can just grab a bunch
of files and drag a bunch of files to it - all the dragged files will be
added to the print queue.
(I just tried this is Vista and it worked a treat, but I'm nearly positive
that it works in XP as well.)
Finally, if you wanted to automate this, it's easy to do in Windows
Scripting Host. To use Word to print a file you'd do something like this:
var DocToPrint, oWord, oDoc
DocToPrint = "C:\MyFile.Doc"
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWordActiveDoc = oWord.Documents.Open("" + DocToPrint)
oWordActiveDoc.PrintOut
A nice example of looping recursively through a file-system (using
JavaScript) is here:

It shouldn't be hard to combine the tool to print all files of a specific
type in a folder.
