Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have 19 networked barcode printers, which
I like to print to using the code that I have. Changing it would be a
bit of a job. Considering that this works on a box using IIS 6, I don't
want to give up on this yet.
Thanks,

Why don't you just use javascript to print the content?
Think it's something like window.print(), but not 100% sure.
Stay well

Subject: [PHP-WIN] printing on IIS7
Hi,
I have migrated a php site from Linux to windows. The only remaining
problem
seems to be printing, naturally I have had to change the code and that's
where the problems have started. I have the following very simple code:
<?php
$txt = "Hello World";
$handle = printer_open("DELL3115");
printer_write($handle, $txt);
printer_close($handle);
?>
When I run this from the command prompt using php -f ..... It works
fine, in
other words it prints, when I run this script through the web browser
then I
get this:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 262144) (tried to allocate
4294967295
bytes) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testprn.php on line 4
I have read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=184291 and
many
others, which all lead me to believe that it is an account / permission
problem. On a side note: $handle = printer_open("non-existing-printer");
gives me a normal error in the sense of "can't find printer".
I run Windows 2008 64 bit, IIS7, php 5.2 32 bit ( I have enabled 32 bit
apps
in IIS and the rest of the site works fine), using FastCGI.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,

Paul,
I had a smiliar problem once where I had changed the amount of memory
from 16M to 256 (note the missing M). Check your memory setting in
php.ini. 262144 seems like 256K. I think that may be the default minimum
amount of memory for a script.
On my Linux systems there is a different php.ini for command line
versus apache instances. I don't know if Windows does the same thing.
Cheers,
James

Strangely enough, I've just had a very similar issue with another
application (Timeware needing to print a "Who Is In" report when the
fire alarm rings).
The issue we found was that the account being used to run the service
did not have access to the printer. In our case, Timeware didn't bomb
out, but nothing was printed.
As soon as we gave permissions to the printer for the Timeware
service, all was well.
Now with regards to IIS, I'm not too sure.
What I have half worked out ...
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.fastcgi.impersonate is
required to be set to 1.
The ApplicationPool that your site(s) run under needs to be set to
something which can print.

Hi Richard,
Many, many thanks, that has done the trick. ****BUT**** I had to turn it off. I
have had to set fastcgi.impersonate=0 to fix it, which makes sense in a way
because the user under which IIS runs has been given access to print, but the
user browsing the site has not. I don't use any form of logging onto the site,
so I would not know what user it was...
Thanks again,

Hi James,
That did not work for me. Thanks for your quick reply though. The
solution for me was fastcgi.impersonate = 0. Thanks to Richard.

Hi.
Can anyone with windows knowledge take a quick look at
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47918. I'm pretty sure this IS a bug.
I'm hoping you don't say it is a documentation bug and it is something
you can fix.
My requirement is to allow non-blocking file i/o.
With non-win32, it seems that the fcntl() function can accept
O_NONBLOCK. This does not seem to be present on win32.
The doc for fopen() does not mention 'n' as being available (probably
for this reason).
Regards,
Richard.
