Once downloaded, I can print multiple PDFs at once using File Explorer (but only if they're all PDFs). It's the same with M365 apps I think but I'll have to double check that.
The download and print workaround is working at the moment but I've a feeling future directorates/divisions won't take it as well.
I'm hoping to have answers ready to questions they don't have yet!
