basically, i want to list the file names in the directory and print all files.. my files happen to be excel format, so i want to print all of the files..
i dont want to have to open up every file and click on the print button, one at a time..
If they're really true-blue Excel files (as opposed to tab-delimited text files), then you can use ActiveX to call the "PrintOut" method for the sheet. You can search the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) for examples on how to control Excel from LabVIEW via ActiveX. There's also the Excel "board".
but i am wondering if we can use a function like...."fit to 1 page" as we can do it with windows... does labview allow us to automatically shrink the contents to 1 page?

That would not be under the control of LabVIEW. It's the ActiveX interface that's printing, not LabVIEW. So, you would need to see if the ActiveX interface has such a method or property. I would suggest checking MSDN.
