Just like to point out that you can easily print an object without going 
through a lot of user-interface interactions: just select one, or a group
of objects in the finder, and choose "Print" from the Finder's "File" menu.
It starts up their owning application, and hands them to it along with a
print message. Applications that conform to the Macintosh user interface
guidlines (and more than 95% do) will print the documents and quit without
further interaction from you other than confirming that you want a single
copy of all pages at the same print quality as last time (which you do by
either a single mouse click or a single <return> key press.
