Updated to 4.0.7rc1 and it still didn't work. Here's my snippet: $handle = printer_open("\\\kinkos\\kinkos"); printer_start_doc($handle, "Project Status"); printer_start_page($handle); printer_write($handle, "any text"); printer_end_page($handle); printer_end_doc($handle); printer_close($handle);

i'm unable to reproduce this locally, i'll try to figure that out in a network later. which OS is the server/client running. btw: don't use printer_write. it's for sending raw printer data, you'll have to do something like $handle = printer_open(); printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "TEXT"); printer_write($handle, "Text to print"); printer_close($handle); better see http://php.net/manual/en/function.printer-draw-text.php daniel p.s.: you can also contact me privately

I've made sure that the printer is available to IUSR_ALPHA (my server).

The

printer is actually open to everyone but I made sure that IUSR_ALPHA

was

specified too. Nothing. Still get the same error.

please try http://www.php4win.com/~daniel/php-4.0.7rc1-win32.zip there have been some fixes to the extension since 4.0.6. if that still doesn't work please provide some reproducing code. sounds like printer_start_doc() is failing (permission problem, no

device

context created/failed,...). daniel

Yes I believe that I a m running under the IUSR_ComputerName

account.

I'll

have to verify permissions.

Do that. If it's a printer being shared over the network, it's

subject to

either the domain permissions or the permissions specific to the box

doing

the sharing (or both, actually). Wow. That was a long-ass runon

sentence!

I've just noticed that the handle that is being returned is

showing as

'Resource id #1'. I have no idea about that but it makes sense

that if

I

don't have a proper handle, I won't be able to create a doc.

That's because you're running PHP4. It ID's things like connections, etc...as Resource #(whathaveyou). It's an interesting way to keep

track of

how many major resources you have in a script. ;)

I would like to thank you Erik. You pushed me in the right direction to get to here.

Bah, piffle, tain't no thing. It's nothing you wouldn't have come up

with,

I'm sure. Besides...it's good karma. You get some, you pass it on! - Erik
