Try this bat file

@echo off
dir %1 /b /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w excel "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit


It prints to an excel file. Add it to the registry (*.reg) to to opo up on the right click menu

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print File Name]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print File Name\command]
@="printdir2.bat \"%1\""
