Im having a few odd issues with printing and im hoping someone can help me.
I can manually print to my barcode printer just fine (FILE<PRINT in a web
browser). However if I try and print using PHP printer_write it doesn't
print. Yes I have the php_printer.dll installed. My code:
<?
function getPrinter($SharedPrinterName) {
global $REMOTE_ADDR;
$host = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
return "\\\\".$host."\\".$SharedPrinterName;
}
$handle = printer_open(getPrinter("ZebraZ4M"));
printer_write($handle, "Text to print");
printer_close($handle);
?>
Gives the following error:
Warning: printer_write() [function.printer-write
<http://localhost/test/function.printer-write>
]: couldn't allocate the
printerjob [1804] in W:\www\test\print.php on line 19
And it doesn't print. I'm quite lost. Also, im using uniform server on
windows XP and I do have my printer drivers install since I can print
manually just fine...
Any ideas? Thanks
