Under orders, it seems like it will be easy to add a print icon and link to the printable invoice, and also open it into a new window, I'm going to try it here when I get a chance and will post what I come up with here...

But and I'm totally not sure how it would get done, but a send all invoices to printer would be nice for merchants who will look at and want to print their orders once or twice a day...thoughts?

A print icon would be cool and handy, though I think it's considered a "best practice" guideline to not open things up in new windows any more (esp. with the development of tabbed browsers). I don't know how to handle dumping output to the printer, but Google's done it somehow with e-mail so I'm sure it's possible. It would probably involve loading all the content up in a document with page breaks and then using JS to print the document... but I've had trouble in the past enforcing page breaks on things like this.

Trevor and Ryan, I to would like to see a batch print of the invoices. Something like the new CSS page-break style may help: http://www.theenglishguy.co.uk/2007/03/09/page-break-css-properties/

Hope to see this feature soon. We currently pull the data from the database and use another program to create Invoices, which is only a work around for the time being.

Yeah. I would be interested as well in seeing a batch printing option.
I used to accomplish this (not for UC) by means of a couple of add-ons for firefox, i.e. 'Universal Print' and 'Snap Links', another tool for batch-opening links in tabs.

@nicksageek: How did you manage to grab the data from the DB? Which program did you use to create the invoices?

Thanks =)
