Printing data on local or server printer

[casaru]

Hi,
I´m shearching for a php utility or function that permise to print data on a local printer (no for pages or forms), because I´ve trying to make it like a shocket or open directly like a file and it doesn´t work.

Thanks.- Carlos

I would turn on page buffering then when you're ready to print flush the buffer to a var and add slashes to the var then print '$var' > /dev/lp;

That should work for the SERVER. For the client, try this:
