Yes, at a command prompt navigate to the folder you want and type

dir >lpt1

You may need to do

net use \\machine\printer lpt1

first.

Sorry....I posted this in Windows2000 and apparantly that didn't show up.
I need to print the directory listing in Win2000.

I'm running Windows 2000 SP2 and it works for me.

Did you do

net use lpt1 \\computername\printername

first?

Great! It worked. Thanks.

Well, you can spool the DIR listing to a text file, then print the text file.

DIR > FILENAME.TXT

Then just print the TXT file.

hope this helps
