Can you be more precise about what you want? You obviously know you can print out as many directories as you have drives. And that you can simply join these up in one doc or set with a stapler.
This might help you do something: you can use aliases, they get printed. You can put "comments" in via the Get Info window and you can view directories with comments via view/view options. Combine all these facts and you have a means to make a genuinely helpful, set of directories. A master one from (say) your startup disk with a full set of aliases to point to every other item on other disks...
Personally I am finding the Apple menu useful, in it I have not only aliases to much used folders but specifically all my HDs, from there all is available for inspection in submenus... [If you have a nice big screen, you can screen shot all. If you don't you can screen shot bits at a time and montage up a giant pic and print it (by montaging up all the sheets, scissors and paste]. Trouble is by time you have done this, everything will have changed again.
Just use the apple menu as I say and Sherlock to find difficult things. Name things well in the first place.
And do try to have a good breakfast please, it is a foundation for the day.

I want to print out a lists of directory (folder) contents with file names and suffix, file sizes, file type and date / time created or modified.
With graphics files sometimes different versions modified get the same or similar names when transferred between machines. ( As some machines have different programs or plug ins for special effects.) All of this info would provide help to locate specific versions for reuse,renaming etc.
This gets really important when generating scores of frames for animation where the minor differences
On the platform I used to use I just typed in a command string with the location and got all of this printed out in short order from the CLI.
In X I would of course learn a CLI method.
I just now tried the screen shot method but somehow it doesn't seem as elegant of a solution to this.. I forgot I needed to reduce the pixel aspect in Photoshop and it took 4 pages to print out the screen..
So I think it would be nicer to print direct somehow. Too bad the clipboard / Simpletext method only picked up the names.
Thanks David and I will try to get more fiber,
