Batch/Auto Print Picture Name Info in INDD

Hi all,
My company recently switched from Quark to InDesign (woohoo!). We're in the catalog biz, so the more tasks we can batch, the better. In Quark, we used to use MPS Batch Print to output proofs. There's an option in the Page Setup dialog box that allows us to "Print Picture Info: Picture Name". This applies a text box with the name of the image file on top of the image, prints the page and then closes it after removing the labels.
Since switching to InDesign, we began using Zervix Batch Output. This however does not feature a comparable "Print Picture Info" option. There is a script that creates a layer with the info, but only one file at a time. Does anyone know of any batch solutions that would let us replicate MPS Batch Print?
Cheers,
John

Re: Batch/Auto Print Picture Name Info in INDD

are you printing to size? so you can't print crops and page info?
