Call to undefined function printer_open()

Question

I am trying to connect to my printer which is on another machine through this code

     $handle = printer_open(\"\\\\\\\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\\\\Canon MF4320-4350         


        

Answer 1

I have a similar problem. This is what I have figured out so far.

1. Make sure that you have a php_printer.dll matching your php compile version in your extension folder ( php/ext/ ). Use this link for downloading the file.

2. add the following in your php.ini file:

   printer.default_printer=PHP_INI_ALL
   extension=php_printer.dll
   

The errors have disappeared but the file is still not printing.
