How can this be done in Vs 11.5.2. I have seen previous solutions such as Cmd A to highlight all folders and then Cmd Right Arrow to expand. However, this doesn't seem to work for me. Any suggestions, or is there an app that will do this and allow me to print a 'tree' type listing of folder contents?

You don't need the command key. Left or right arrow will expand the selected folder. Opt-right/left arrow will expand/collapse all subfolders, too. You must be in List View with no Grouping applied.
The Finder used to freeze up if there were too many items showing. I can't remember if it was a depth thing or a length problem. I don't know if that was every fixed.
The only native way to print that would be to take a screen shot. There were some third-party apps that did that. I don't know if they still work.

Thank you Barney-15E. Certainly a step in the right direction. You do of course need to be in List View for this to work. You are also right that Finder freezes up if 'too many' items are listed, but how many is too many?
but how many is too many?
I don't know. It's kind of painful to test that out. The issue has been around forever, so there may be some more info on the Web.
