Appears to be an abandoned PECL extension. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-26 02:09:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUGGESTION ========== After looking in source code (printer.c) carefully, I beleive that whatever you have set through has no effect. (I could be wrong if the source code I saw is too old. Anyway, it is the only one I can find.) The problem is that the steps of setting printing properties recommended by Microsoft are not followed. The printer_open() simply get current settings by calling DocumentProperties() with DM_OUT_BUFFER. Subsequent setting using printer_set_option() simply modifies these setting parameters in the buffer. Lacking of 2 steps in order to make setting printing options working, (1) modify resource->device->dmFields bit to indicate which parameters have been changed (2) Call DocumentProperties() with DM_OUT_BUFFER | DM_IN_BUFFER. The resource->device must be passed to the function also. I suggest modify printer_set_option() to modify resource->device->dmFields bit as well as resource->device->dmXXX and create another option parameter - PRINTER_SET_OPTION_NOW that will call DocumentProperties() with DM_OUT_BUFFER | DM_IN_BUFFER.

There is no effect on using printer_set_option with PRINTER_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE. Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-18 09:15:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_ORIENTATION, PRINTER_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); to set the printer option and try to print some text in landscape (value=2) but the output still shows up in portrait (value=1). (printer_get_option($handle, PRINTER_ORIENTATION ) = 2); Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18412&edit=1
