Printer Functions

[[deleted]]

I have installed PHP 4.1.2 in Winsows XP Pro, everything works fine except the "new printer functions".
Whith this code:
$handle = printer_open();
Returns this message:
"Call to undefined function print_open()."

There is no ".dll" for this function.
So, printer functions are not implemented yet?, or what's going wrong.

Txs in advance for any help.

Yes there is a dll for this. php_printer.dll
its in your extensions folder. It must be enabled as part of your extensions to make it work.

I just enabled it on my install, and did

$handle = printer_open("Generic/Text Only");

with no errors.

Peter:
First, make sure that your extentions are properly installed. I moved the extensions directory that comes with the windows install into my winnt directory and edited the extensions path in the php.ini file to c:\winnt\extensions. That should get you going.

Good luck using a printer other than default on XP, though. If you figure it out, please post.
