1) The instructions include putting in a key of:
c:\windows\command\printdir.bat

I found that was printing the Windows Desktop no matter what directory I was in, 
so I changed it to
c:\windows\command\printdir.bat %1
I suspect that is necessary for all versions of Windows.

2) I was trying to do this on a computer with a USB connected HP OfficeJet.  These 
printers simply don't know how to print from DOS.
I came up with a solution:
(New PRINTDIR.BAT)
@echo off
cd %1
dir/on>c:\$dummy$.$$$
c:\windows\notepad.exe /p c:\$dummy$.$$$

This does the directory into a file and then uses notepad to print the file to the 
default printer, which should work no matter how the printer is connected.

3) I set the Properties of PRINTDIR.BAT to "Close on Exit" so that it would disappear 
automatically.
