Hi, I am looking for a solution where i can right click on a folder and it will give me an option to pring the contents of the folder. This is not for Filder listing printouts... i have a folder for example with 5 files. if i right-click the folder i want to be able to select print and it will print all 5 files. (like right clicking on a Doc and selecting print without opening the file. Thanks for any help or info! CHRIS

i saw this too, but all it does is drop the folder listing into a txt file and it prints the text file.
same as doing:
C:\dir /s > tree.txt and then printing that file.i need to be able to right click on the folder and have it print every document that is contained in the folder, not a list of whats in the folder.
thanks

i need to be able to right click on the folder and have it print every document that is contained in the folder, not a list of whats in the folder
So what is the difference?
Unity is strength.

the solution you listed adds an option to print a list of what is in the folder.
The printer will print out something like this:Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXXDirectory of C:\test
01/19/2006 11:00 AM <DIR> .
01/19/2006 11:00 AM <DIR> ..
01/19/2006 11:00 AM test.doc
01/19/2006 11:00 AM test1.doc
01/19/2006 11:00 AM test2.doc
3 File(s) 12,000 bytes
2 Folder(s) 999,999 bytes free
What i need it to do is to have the the command (right click option) to actually print test.doc, test1.doc and test.3 without me opening the folder (c:\test). just like you can print test.doc by right clicking and selecting print.
I have multiple folders that are grouped based on infomration packets and instead of opening each folder for print the files i want to be able to print the folder.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I am unable to help you with that. I hope you can solve this.
