"Actually, the original question was: ""... For example, ""how would you do this under macOS (send a list of all files under current ""directory to the spooled printer)? "" "" find . -print | lp " "Printing files and directories is VERY EASY on the mac. " "To print a list of the files in the current directory: " Choose "Print Directory" from the File menu. Maybe you are not familiar with UNIX. In UNIX, the "find . -print" will *recursively* list all files in the current directory. Thus, it is printing the entire subtree rooted at the current directory, not just the current directory. (For example, "find . -print", if invoked in the root directory will print all files on the disk (well, actually the root and all mounted partitions, if you get picky...)) -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)
