Print multiple photos simultaneously on the Mac.

There are a couple of different ways you can print out multiple photos on your Mac. The first is through iPhoto, which is the bundled photo program for the Mac operating system. You can pick photos out of the iPhoto library or select an entire album that you have created for an event. If your photos are not in iPhoto and you don't feel like importing them, you can print them using Preview, the default program on the Mac for viewing images like JPEGs you download or share with friends.
