Why not install the HTML-printer(=driver) found in the Microsofts' Win95 great
Power Tools package, freely available at the http://support.microsoft.com website?
Here I have it installed twice, once as a Print to Paper and once as a Print to File printer.
You could also, substituting the HTML here, install the Generic standard text Printer(=driver)
that ships with the Win95-CdRom, for plain ASCII-Text only. Here you could also do
both of the above installations and is also freely available at the above Microsoft Support site.
You can then print any text, that is seen in an Active window, to a file.
Gif files themselves cannot be directly converted to readable ASCI-text, eg text making sence
to humans. Indeed an OCR(optical character reqocnition) program is then required.
If I'm not mistaken, Paint Shop Pro 5x http://www.jasc.com can also capture screen images
and OCR them to text and save to file.
If your concern is to print Folders' contents then read the very handy Directory Printer's
message below.

MISSING UTILITY - Directory Printer
Have you ever tried to print the contents of a folder or directory in
Windows Explorer? Don't spend too much time searching your system's Help
files for tips, because it's a feature that doesn't exist in Windows 95.
Thankfully, there's Directory Printer, a handy program that makes it easy
to print single directories or entire trees; for the latter, you can even
specify the number of subdirectories to be printed. You can also tailor
output to include fields such as long or short file names, file size,
date created, and attributes; sort and limit the printed items based on
file type; and more. You can also output a file list to an ASCII text
file that closely resembles the printed form, or to a comma-delimited
file that can be imported into most spreadsheet and database programs.
