Comment about Printing Directory Listings

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.
