Q?: How do you print the listing of file names in a folder
or directory?

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.

I particularly like the Directory Printer from Karen's Power Tools.

You can get third party applications that will do this such as the Directory
Printer from Karen's Power Tools.

or you can use one of these articles. Keep in mind that the list may be
extremely long so you may prefer to create a text list and view the list
rather than printing it.
