Question

Ive been googling around on how to install the php_printer.dll for wamp server, nothing came up. Perhaps, anyone know how to install that ext? Basically, im trying

Answer 1

After enabling the php_printer.dll in your ini, I'd first make sure you did it in the good INI file (by looking at "Loaded Configuration File" in phpinfo()).
Then if proper INI is loaded, but the module still isn't working, I'd go to command prompt and try running php manually, like
php -v
That will probably give you an error with some more data on the issue - that error wouldn't be visible anywhere through your browser, that is - when you run a page in browser.

In the end - the error that you'll get reported will most probably be that you are trying to load the module which is compiled as 'thread safe' while your version of PHP was compiled as non-thread safe. Or it will be the other way around. To overcome that, you'll need to download the proper version of PECL. I think that the link mentioned earlier by Wh1T3h4Ck5 is the thread-safe one.
You can try this link:
http://museum.php.net/php5/pecl-5.2.6-nts-Win32.zip or maybe here, it's a bunch of win32 binaries:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/

After you download that, take the printer dll from it, copy to your c:\php\ext (or whatever you use), reset the web server and it should work. If it does well, then the php -v shouldn't give errors any more. You can also use the php -m at that point, to list all the modules loaded, or just check the phpinfo() again.
That was the scenario I had and that's how I solved it.
