Then do it:

  The source for the page with the "rename" button in
  "OFS/dtml/main.dtml".
  
  Copy and customize it, give it an additional "change_access"
  button (or, better, replace all existing buttons with the
  "change_access").

  Use a Python Script as the forms action.
  It iterates through the selected objects and sets their permission.
  How to do this, you can learn by looking at "AccessControl/DTM/access.dtml".

I expect, you mean printing at your desktop, not the server?

  This can only be prepared by Zope (it does not control your
  desktop printer). You form action would build a composite view
  of all selected objects and send it to the browser. There, you
  can press "print".
