Kirk,

You can use the command line DIR command and redirect its output to a
text file that you can print from Notepad. If you'd like something a
little more integrated with Explorer, have a look at a 3'rd party
add-on such as ExpPrint http://www.jddesign.co.uk/.

ExpPrint is an Explorer context menu extension that gives you a "Print
Directory Listing" menu when you select any file folder, drive, or
files. It has quite a comprehensive sorting and layout capability,
and is only a small download.

ExpPrint is shareware, the only restriction on the non-registered
usage is that the Save settings capability is disabled. Other than
that it's fully functional.

from the command line
dir>lpt1
that should work unless you have the problem that some folks have..
2 problems I should say...some printers won't work from the command line comman
and others that do work, but stopped working for one reason or another

USB connected printers (no parellel ports) don't seem to work under any circumstance

It would be nice if someone knew the answer to the question, "why did it stop working?
