PHP = server side Printing = client side So no, PHP can't print stuff. Perhaps client side scripting (like javascript) can, but if any site did that to me (forced stuff to be printed without my ok), i'd be pretty pissed off. I'd consider it a security problem -- what happens if some shitty site start printing 1000 pages of some guys hairy arse???? No thanks!! I know YOUR intentions are good, but not everyone's are...
