Print the listing of files in the folder you mean? Or print all 43 files that are in the folder?

Assuming the former...
Press the Start button and select Run...
Enter cmd (or command on some Win versions) to bring up a Dos shell
Navigate to the folder your files are in with e.g. cd c:\piggy
Enter dir *.* > files.txt
Exit the Dos shell
In Windows explorer/My Computer navigate to your directory which will now contain the 43 files plus files.txt.
Open files.txt in Notepad/Wordpad and print.

Some people find it difficult to navigate to subfolders because of the way that Windows uses spaces and tildes. You can always use the PrtScrn button to capture an image of the folder and then print that out from a graphic editor.
Alternatively, I can let you know how to add a "print folder contents" option when you right-click on any folder which automates part of mathare's solution above plus a cunning registry tweak. If you're not comfortable with editing your directory there's another option that creates a small .cmd file on your desktop that will produce a similar result.
