printing from a webserver to a JetDirect printer

Anon

I have a web-server that contains a database with online orders, and I also have a computer at the office that's running JetDirect and is connected to the web, what I wanna do is runa PHP script at scheduled time at the server, and have it (script) print some data out to the JetDirect server.
Any ideas how to do it?

Thanks a lot,

What OS? And is the 'computer with the JetDirect' on the
same local network as the webserver? (I.e. I'm unclear
whether the webserver is also "in the office")

The are on different networks - the webserver is a dedicated server at the provider's connection, and the office computer is a simple cable.
The JetDirect OS is winNT4.0, the webserver is Apache on RedHat

Thanks in advance,

Well, you aren't going to have an easy time printing to it, then.
It would be far easier to have the server either create a page
that you could access locally and then print, or email you the
data for local formatting and printing.

Ok, I'm in the same situation. I have a database which I'm interfacing with PHP.

The database is Paradox. I'm using NT40, and a web server running IIS 4. I need to output a report every night at midnight. I have created a report, and I was just going to use a scheduled command. My problem at the moment is, I'm using the printer_draw_text function which is working nicely (after playing with it for a few hours), but when I get the report, the second database entry is missing, and after that it prints 5, and skips the 6th, then prints another 5 and skips the 6th....so if I can somehow print directly to the jetDirect port, that would be wonderful! Otherwise, any idea why it's skipping some records? Plain text is fine...seems to be something coming out of the query... if I echo to the screen the same thing i'm sending to the printer, it shows up just fine. Thanks
