Bug #14283 Updated: printer_create_dc - Example has errors in manual

ID: 14283 Updated by: mtntrip@yahoo.com Reported By: joergklein@web.de Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: WinXP ger PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: The original code presented by joerglklein will not print at all for me. I get the same errors on both Win 98 and Win NT 4 SP4 using a Generic Text driver as well as a printer specific driver. I found if I put the printer_create_dc() and printer_set_option() outside of printer_start_doc() and printer_start_page() that it did print without most errors, but of course it didn't print correctly.
