Is there any way to print a folder/file listing in Windows Explorer, or do I have to do it the old DOS way, if that's possible?
 
Greetings --

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

I'm assuming you want a directory list sent to the printer?
You can do this by opening a command window (dos box).
Navigate to the folder you want a listing of.
Type dir /s > dir.txt NOTE - for a listing of available options use dir /?
Then open the dir.txt file and print it.

You may want to experiment with the different directoy listings availble
before you print.
