Anyone know of a good way to do this?

At the moment I use Preview to print six images to a page, but it doesn't seem to be able to add the filenames which can make identifying them hard.

I could really do with having them labelled when they are printed.

Photoshop can make up contact sheets that include the file name. It's under the Automate option.

Bugger, I don't have it.

iPhoto "does" too, you can use contact sheets with it. I'm investigating an old tool one of my lecturers use, if I can find it, I'll let you know :)

The CLI utility was called `a2ps`. It might do what you need it to do, it will certainly print file names. This page might be of use:

You'll need to find it and compile/install it, but it is available on MacPorts :)

Have you tried GraphicConverter?

You should be able to produce a contact sheet either using the controls in the Browse Folder window or use the Print Folder option and just put miltiple pages per sheet in the print dialogue box.
