Status: Wont fix
Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Operating System: WinXP
PHP Version: 4.2.1
New Comment:
windows nt40 sp6
windows 2000 pro sp3 + pre-sp4 updates @ 20030609
PHP 4.3.2 / Apache 1.3.27 / php4apache.dll
extension: php_printer.dll
The extension does appear to be in the category "who cares".
only crashes only the array keys "DESCRIPTION" and "COMMENT"
$list_printers = printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL |
PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED);
// get the name of the first returned printer
$this_printer = $list_printers[0]["NAME"];
// open a connection to your printer
$my_printer = printer_open($this_printer);
.. blah blah
The output of var_dump (as an example)
var_dump( printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL | PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED) );
array(1) {
[0]=> array(3) {
["NAME"]=> string(14) "Canon BJC-4550"
["DESCRIPTION"]=> string(30) "Canon BJC-4550,Canon BJC-4550,"
["COMMENT"]=> string(0) "This is my funky printer!" } }
As you can see var_dump (under variable functions in the manual) shows
and/or retrieves the corrent information but if you try to place into a
variable or read the variable it crashes with an "I am a windows
product and cannot read the memory space correctly cause I sux"
message.
so as long as you do not get the comment or description it will list
your printers.
if you wish to specify a network printer you need lots more slashes..
example: \\\\my-network-computer\\my-printer-share

Hi,
I'm having troubles using the printer_list function.
When I try to get a list of all the printers installed
on the machine where the script is running, php crashes.
When I use this code, PHP crashes:
printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL);
When I use this codes, PHP does not crash, but it returns
a empty array.
printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL|PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED);
printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED);
When I accessing the script with my browser (trough apache) apache
crashes, when I running it as an command line script, PHP.exe crashes.
Altough, printing to the default printer with the example listed at
'http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.printer-draw-text.php' works
fine.
I'm running PHP 4.2.1 (in apache it's the NON-CGI version running) on
windows XP Professional Dutch edition.
Microsoft Visual C++ tells me there is an access violation in php.exe
(php4ts.dll)
Is there a workaround for this problem?
If you need more information, than feel free to contact me.
With kind regards,
Franck Nijhof
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
