Chris,

You can print a directory list from a DOS prompt. You don't need to reboot.

After getting the DOS prompt, type C: to change to the C drive ( or drive of
choice ).

Then type CD \directory name ( ex: CD \SM9\MILL\FFDATA ).

Then type DIR >PRN.

You can use wildcards to only print selected files ( DIR *.PGM >PRN will only
print files which end with ".PGM" ).

The file will be directed to the default printer. If the printer is a laser
printer, you will need to send the printer an end-of-page command to tell it
to print.

I have attached a short DOS program called FF.COM to do this. Place the
FF.COM file in the same directory you wish to print from, or place it in the
WINDOWS directory, or any other directory that is in your PATH ( type PATH
from a DOS prompt to see which directories are in your PATH ).

Type FF to send the end-of-page command to the printer.

then type EXIT to return to Windows.
