Jason,

It helps to remember how most PHP applications are structured (server
side/browser side) and the options you want to use depends on where you want
the printing to occur.

Server Side;

the manual for the printer functions
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.printer.php contains the following
disclaimer;

These functions are only available under Windows 9.x, ME, NT4 and 2000. They
have been added in PHP 4.0.4.
which means that your server needs to be a windoz platform.

Client (Browser) Side;

Two solutions come to mind, one is preparing a PDF file on the fly and
letting the user print via the Adobe interface
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php

the other is accomplished via JavaScript.  You should be able to find some
help with printing a web page at http://www.hotscripts.com

HTH,

Warren Vail
