[SOLVED] php_Printer.dll

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

"and dated 22.1.2004"

That's probably your problem.

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..??

Ok I've found it!!

http://us.php.net/get/pecl-5.2.6-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror

This contains a version of php_printer.dll that loads the extension without any errors!!

Hopefully someone else will find this usefull..

Hi......

 

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 ] ]"
