You could try the Microsoft way

(first result for entering "print directory listing xp" into Google... - you
may want to look through the others) but many find something like Karen's
Directory Printer: http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp to be
the most convenient solution.

Here are four ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and put it
in any folder you want)

Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there.

2. Write (for example in Notepad) a 1-line text file:
DIR %1 /O >LPT1:

Save it as "printdir.bat" in the "Send To" folder.

Then, to print list of files in any folder, right-click that folder
and select Send to | printdir.bat

To include subfolders, change the comand to DIR %1 /O/S >LPT1:

3. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379 and
follow the instructions there.

4. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware utilities
that can do this, such as the popular
