This MSDN link will probably help you with managing printers through COM -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hazelden [mailto:michael.hazelden@ocado.com] Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 5:55 PM To: 'php-general@lists.php.net' Subject: [PHP] COM/PHP problem Hi there, I've been fiddling with the COM extensions and I've got it activating my application and printing the file I want using the internal functions. However, I want to guarantee the printer and tray on the printer used by the script. Is this possible? At the moment - our solution involves creating two service users who we set up with the correct default printer (which is set to print to the correct tray depending) ... one for each tray. Then the script that activates the reports runs under one of the users (depending on which tray) ... Is there any way to force this via COM? We don't want to be restricted to service users ... I can't find anything on Microsoft about controlling printers via COM ... so I'm hoping that someone here has some experience! Note: The application we're using via COM has no functions to control printers ... only to print ... would make life a lot easier if it did have them! Cheers, Michael.
