How can I print a set of links in Chrome or Firefox?

For example, suppose I have a set of webpages,

I have the URLs

I want to print each webpage

How can I do that without manually going to each link and choosing print?

Note- I don't need any levels of depth so just printing what is at each link, not following links from there.

    Solution I have used is to use firefox 'copy links' extension, to highlight right click and get all the links from selected text.. Then I put them in a text file b.b, did wget -t 1 -T 5 -w 3 -i b.b Then I had all the files to print. Then I downloaded Print Conductor print-conductor.com and dragged them to that and clicked to print.

The solution I have used is to use firefox 'copy links' extension, to highlight right click and get all the links from selected text.. Then I put them in a text file b.b, did wget -t 1 -T 5 -w 3 -i b.b Then I had all the files to print. Then I downloaded Print Conductor print-conductor.com and dragged them to that and clicked to print.

(with wget the -t 1 -T 5 -w 3 are good switches. The -t 1 so if there's some error downloading a file it doesn't keep trying a default of 20 times and not get on with the next one for ages, it tries downloading the file once and if it doesn't manage it it moves on. The -T 5 so if there's an error downloading a file, it wants 5 seconds then moves on, instead of the default of 900 seconds which takes ages until the next one. The -w 3 so it waits 3 seconds between each file so it doesn't hammer the server causing oneself to get blocked!)

And that is a bit of a workaround 'cos I was looking for a solution in the browser but that's ok
