A free directory printer??

W

Walter R.

I am looking for a freeware file printer, that will allow me to list and
print the files in a directory.

I tried Karen's Directory Printer and the JR directory printer but they are
very limited and cranky.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Here are four ways (although you won't like the fourth one, the others
work fine):

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
