Very clear ... if only the answer was too.

Try this.  Create a pivot table of your list; when picking the fields
(step 3 in the wizard) put the field you want the list for in the row,
and some other field in the data area.  It defaults to a count function
- for me anyway, using a text field - but any function will do.  No
column field is required.

You get a printable table of all the unique values.

There's probably a better way!
