I need to print between 20 to 50 Excel files every week. Each file contains multiple worksheets (from sheet 1 to sheet 7, etc.), but I only need to print the first worksheet (sheet 1). Is there a quicker way to accomplish this?
It feels like an unnecessarily tedious task because of the process required to 'Specify worksheet -> then select the worksheet I want to print.'
Perhaps there's a way to filter this step by worksheet (sheet 1) name?

How many workbooks can I print at the same time? File Explore limits me to 15 workbooks at a time. Will Kutools for Excel be able to handle 100 to 200 workbooks at once?
