| 211692 | 2004-01-31 02:55:00 | Sometime ago PC World published a batch file that allowed you to print out the contents of Folders using the "Send To" option. Has anybody got anything similar for use with XP | Hewie (5204) | ||
| 211693 | 2004-01-31 03:11:00 | I thought you could just highlight everything in the folder and right click and go 'print'? :) | PoWa (203) | ||
| 211694 | 2004-01-31 09:26:00 | Easy way: try PrintFolder Pro. (no-nonsense-software.com) OR you could try this method: To make the batch file, open a new Notepad document and copy and paste the following into it: @echo off dir %1 /-p /o:gn> "%temp%\dir.txt" notepad /p "%temp%\dir.txt" Note that the line breaks need to be as above or it might not work. After pasting in Notepad, save the file as printdir.bat You will need to click on the drop-down box to select "Save as type" so that the file doesn't end up as printdir.bat.txt The file should be saved in the C:\WINDOWS\SendTo folder. Now all you need to do is turn on your printer, right-click on the folder that you want printed and choose Send To|printdir.bat That works in Win 98 and hasn't been tried in Win XP so no guarantees given. ;-) |

Use ">>" if you wish to add (amend) to a file contents then open this txt file in notepad and print or you could try type dirlist.txt > lpt1 (">"redirects output from type command to the lpt port. If your printer is usb or a network printer (unless lpt1 is redirected to the network printer) this command will not work) |
