I want to print many photos without manually opening each file and clicking Print every time. Ideally, I’d like one photo per page, and I’d also like to apply the same edits or filter sequence to every image before printing. Can Photoshop or Bridge automate this workflow?

Photoshop has an entire automation workflow that you can use to automate batch operations. It would be ideal for what you are trying to do here.

These batch operations are called Actions and you can get to them from the Windows...Actions menu.

You then make a new action

and name it.

You can then record the steps you want to do, opening the file, applying any filters and printing.

When finished, hit the Stop to save the action.

Now that we have an action we can use that action as part of a batch operation against all the files you want to apply it to. You do this by going to the File...Automate...Batch menu.

enter image description here

Choose our action from the drop down and select which files you want to open. Be sure to check the override open action button if you had an open step in your action.

Yes. In Photoshop, the usual way is to use an Action plus Batch automation. Record an Action that includes the steps you want applied to each file, such as opening the image, running your edits/filters, and printing. Then run that Action on a folder of images using File > Automate > Batch. If your recorded Action includes an Open step, enable the option to override that step so Photoshop uses the files from the folder you select. This lets Photoshop process and print the whole set automatically instead of requiring you to print each image one by one. Bridge is commonly used to manage/select files, but the actual automation described here is done in Photoshop.
