Re: PHP_PRINTER.DLL

Looks like a permission problem to mee. Running a script from the command line does not usally have the same permisions as the same script run from a web server. The server uses an account to execute all requests. This user account should have access to the printer in or to print. Being a member of everyone might fix this but it will also create a less secure web server. Create a special group that get's access to the printer and include the web user in this group should solve your problem. - Frank > Dear sirs, > > where is located the php_printer.dll home page? > > Or, where is located this project now? > > Here it is not available http://pecl.php.net/package/printer > > Thank you for any answer. > > I'd like to post the following issue: > > I thank you in advance if you give me 3 minutes of your time. > > the bug is this: > > php 5.1.2 for windows > pecl extension php_printer.dll for 5.1.2 and also using the 5.1.6 > > 1 SERVER > 1 CLIENT sharing one PRINTER > > the client shared printer is "mounted" on the server for a simple reason.
