Try this handy little program called DIRPRINTING. From the website: "DirPrinting is a simple program for viewing and printing directories. It offers a drive/directory window and a file list, which can be arranged and sorted according to various criteria. This list can be sent to any printer (printing preview and storage included). Functions as "copy to clipboard", "save as file", "send by email", "include subdirectories" or "file filter" are all available." As an example, I use this for cutting and pasting details from CD's I have made, into an Index in MSExcel. I also print-out the listing to make a cover for the CD. Great little aid, and it will probably do what you require.
