Is this a unix system or a windows system with cygwin?

Depending on how you want the output formatted, either
    $ find /cdrom -name \* -print > the_file_list.txt
or
    $ ls -R /cdrom > the_file_list.txt
will get the list and store it in a file.

At least on a real unix system (I'm not sure about cygwin) this
command will print the list.
    $ lp the_file_list.txt

If all you want is a hard-copy of the list, you can pipe the list
directly to lp and avoid an intermediary file on disk.
