Jezza22 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi All, I am trying to get the php_printer.dll extension to work. I am running PHP 5.2.8 with Apache 2.2 on a windows XP platform. When I start Apache it fails to load the extension with the following error PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\ext\\php_printer.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 I have searched long and hard for a solution and have found lots of posts regarding this but nothing has worked so far. php.ini has "extension=php_printer.dll" and "extension_dir="C:\Program Files\PHP\ext" The file is located in the Extension folder and I downloaded the file from www.dlldll.com/php_printer.dll_download.html The file is 36Kb and dated 22.1.2004 Please help!! Thanks in advance, Jez Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/173166-solved-php_printerdll/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezza22 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 I totally agree, but please point me in the direction of version more up to date.. I have search long and hard only finding this version.. And I think that it is no longer supported into PHP version 5, http://us3.php.net/manual/en/printer.installation.php and http://pecl.php.net/package/printer So it looks like that it can not be done with a windows platform and PHP 5.. Which surprises me..?? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/173166-solved-php_printerdll/#findComment-913036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone else will find this usefull.. Jez Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/173166-solved-php_printerdll/#findComment-913053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just download & install "WAMPSERVER" and download above quoted versions also. Now change the versions in wampserver. then add extension[php_printer.dll] in the PHP.ini. Thats all. restart wampserver. If not clear call me. +91 99 52 00 11 52 [india chennai airtel number ] Please tell your exact need...!!! Do you want print silently without dialog box...??? its difficult through php_printer.dll. instead of this you can try. first convert your html page to pdf. [ html2pdf opensource available ] then you can print your pdf file silently through php system command. "AcroRd32.exe /N /T PdfFile PrinterName [ PrinterDriver [ PrinterPort ] ]" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/173166-solved-php_printerdll/#findComment-1064925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
