You can't do this within the XFA Scripting model, but you can do it with Acrobat JavaScript. Take a look at the print function and the examples in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Unfortunately, security restrictions prevent silent printing from scripts in a document. So you will have to make this Folder Level Functionality. This may make your solution unworkable:( but it's the only way.


Get the Acrobat JS ref here:
