I am develloping an application : PHP,MYSQL,APACHE,PDA WIFI.
So I would like to print the current page ( or an extract of database) automaticaly with an button ( PRINT) on 1 printer A or on 1 printer B ( depending of the page ).

Please can you give an easy solution to do that.

Thanks

Are you talking about physical printers here? If so I don't think that's something that can be automated, certainly not with PHP.

with php you can print to printers connected to the webserver and i doubt that is what you want to achieve

Yes I want to print to printers connected to the webserver because my soft is used in intranet ( with PDA WIFI).
I thinks it is possible but how to redirect forward the good printer ?
Thanks for your answer

Ah hehe, not something obvious from your first post 🙂

http://uk.php.net/printer seems to have all the functionality you need.

$phandle = printer_open("str device");
$result = printer_write($phandle, $content_to_print);
@printer_close($phandle);
