Printing Finder windows

In Classical Mac OS (<= 9.2.2), the Finder had a 'Print Window' command
that would print the frontmost Finder window and was very convenient if you
needed a hard copy of the contents of a folder. Does anyone know if the OS
X Finder has the same, or similar, functionality? This has been a low grade
irritant to me ever since the dawn of OS X time. I'm more or less an OS X
'power user' so I suspect that it doesn't exist, but I continue to find
obscurish features that I didn't know were there and I keep hoping that
this one is still buried in some out of the way corner of the Finder. My
less-than-optimal work-around is to take a screen capture of the window I
want and print that from Preview. It's too many steps as compared to simply
selecting 'File -> Print Window' and it leaves files behind that have to be
deleted manually.
