I need to make my PHP application printing something using a printer connected to the server.

In PHP 4.0, php_printer.dll existed, but it was discontinued.

Does anyone have any idea or suggestion on how this could be done with PHP 5?

回答1:

You could write the output to a file and then use exec to print the file with the correct command (depending on the operating system).

Examples:

exec('lpr /some/path/to/the/file', $output);    // linux
exec('print C:\again\a\path', $output);         // windows

You would probably have to check if the php user has printing rights.
