just in case nobody knows, and for everybody else who is just missing the (classic) feature to print folder contents.
Here you go with X: start "print utility.app", drag any folder you want to the docked printer icon. Now you get a print of that particular folder in list view at least (and with all these invisible items).

Though I have a strong desire to print out folders with "icon view". Any ideas how to do that?

Print Window (http://swssoftware.com/products/printwindow/) will do that. The Standard version is freeware.

I was more than a little surprised that Panther didn't alleviate this obviously overlooked feature. Hope they get around to that little detail one day...until then I hope the author of Print Windows makes some money!
