How do you write a bash script that prints all the files in a folder?

We don't do batch scripts here, so I'll assume you mean bash script.
And to answer your question:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo /path/to/folder/*

Yeah, sorry about that.

And I should probably clarify that I meant actually printing (like, to a printer), not displaying output in the terminal. How does that work, exactly? I tried lprint, but Ubuntu claimed it didn't recognize it as a function when I tried running it.

In that case you should look into the lp command
