[SOLVED] How to print a listing in a directory

[Mark_in_Hollywood]

I have saved several hundred .pdf files downloaded from various sources. I want to print the names of the files. I don't find a "print directory" feature in Ubuntu.

I'ld prefer not to do a screenprint as I'll have multiple overlapping screens, an environmental waste.

I'm using Gnome for a desktop & file manager.

There's probably a command to print from the cli, but I hardly ever print something, so I wouldn't know. But as a workaround, I can give you


ls >> filetoprint.txt

This will put the output of the ls command in the file 'filetoprint.txt'. I guess you can figure out the rest...

Open up terminal and type these in one at a time, pressing enter after each one:


cd Desktop
ls > files.txt


Then double-click the files.txt and print it.
