windows - print directory using command prompt

Found this one: http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-windows-explorer.html

But I don't know how do I do it and save the directory listing somewhere.
What I want to do is something like that, but I need an output file.
Or at least something that I can see.
What I need to do is to print the contents of a directory.

Answer

dir > dir_contents.txt

print dir_contents.txt

in short. You pipe it to the file of your choice, using dir options of your choice.

Edit:
If print doesn't work you can try this instead

start /w notepad /p dir_contents.txt

It uses notepad to print the file to your default printer.
