"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...))
