I somewhat agree with Joe that a large unattended plot job generally leads to more frustration than anything else, but you can easily do what you want with a custom PUBLISH command.  You can plot any combination of layouts from multiple drawings quite easily.  If the list of drawings is basically the same from week to week just save the list and reuse it or update it as needs dictate.

And if it were me I would also do the overnight automated plotting to a DWF that I could check before committing to paper.

I can't offer any suggestions toward a solution. May I respectfully ask if you truly believe you should be able to print out a full week of CADD work unattended? Granted, I don't know what a full week of CADD output represents for you or your company. Nonetheless, know that a disturbing and relentless trend has been brewing for many years (it is quite mature and pervasive now) that promotes a foolish & absolutely unrealistic attitude of automating many tasks that require real human decision-making as the task proceeds. We are all handcuffed by the attempts to automate complex tasks (under the ever-present guise of efficient multi-tasking, increased profits, less errors...).  To recover real quality in the work place we should resist inappropriate time-saving gimmicks that appeal primarily to those who don't have to deal with realities of click-and-its-done thinking.

P.S.: Fergana & Printdriver, your postings are easily interpreted as shameless scam postings to promote a product. I hope that isn't true...

Use a batch plotting script file.  And keep your fingers crossed.
