note 73433 added to ref.printer

I am trying to print on a WinXP network printer, this is my test code: <php $printer="\\\DESKTOP\Cocina"; $handle = printer_open($printer); if(!$handle || $handle == NULL) { die('Error connecting to Printer'); } else { printer_start_doc($handle, "My Document"); printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW"); printer_write($handle, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n"); } printer_end_doc($handle); printer_close($handle); ?> there is no out put to the network printer, the server printer (local) works fine but not the \\DESKTOP printer (network), Could anyone help me with a code sample that works? NOTE: if I run a DOS / DIR to the network printer it prints ok: dir > \\Desktop\Cocina the desktop printer prints the DIR data, so why can't I print with PHP printer function on the cliente side on my LAN?
