The last two things printed off once everyone has passed through the EGR at the gate are the passenger list and the connecting gate list so the FA can make the "if your going to LAX your next gate is B27 " etc. Everyone on board the aircraft will be on this list.
The passenger list contains all sorts of weird and wonderful edits and comments that may have been entered by the Counter or Gate agent. Not sure about this but I think it could also tell you which passengers on board are armed , which is not hard to tell if you know what the edit looks like.
