Appears to be an abandoned PECL extension.

--------------------------------
the problem is, that PHP 4.2.1 does not find the default printer in the
system. 
I tried this 
-------------
$handle = printer_open();
printer_write($handle, $text);
printer_close($handle);
-------------------
with php 4.0.6 and it works well, also in PHP Info in section
"printers" there is my default printer listet,

with PHP 4.2.1 not

Hello, 
i have some problem with the "printer" function. 
I have installed an WAMP system with, PHP 4.2.1 
i have added the "php_printer.dll". 
when i want to connect to a printer i receive the message, 

Warning: couldn't connect to the printer [h#Ž/htm] in
c:\apache\htdocs\printer_1.php on line 4 
------- 
if ($submit) { 

$handle = printer_open(); 
printer_write($handle, $text); 
printer_close($handle); 

} 
------------------ 
When i try to list the attached printers with 
---------------------- 
if ($auflisten) { 
PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED); 
$var_dump = printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL); 
while(list($key, $value) = each($var_dump)) 
{ 
echo "$key, $value"; 
} 
} 
----------------- 
i only receive 
0, Array1, Array2, Array3, Array4, Array5, Array6, Array 

what is the problem ? 

Is it a bug with PHP 4.2.1
In a older version of PHP i had no problems

thanks a lot 
Jack
