My Knowledge base is; I can get around in php, I have never worked with C, C++, C# or any compilers.
 
I Upgraded from XAMPP 1.7.3, which used php 5.3, to 1.8.1 which includes:
Apache 2.4.3
MySQL 5.5.27
PHP 5.4.7
 
It is being installed on Windows 7 Pro, Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2008 r2. But I am trying to get it to working on Windows 7 currently.
 
I upgraded because I needed a newer version of Apache and MySQL for security reasons. I do not have the option to downgrade. 
 
I use the php_printer.dll for the ability to print raw data to the printer:
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
My Code worked fine in PHP 5.3 but broke in PHP 5.4.
 
After receiving the error: " Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open() in ~". I checked the php_error_log and received the following information.
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: printer: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626
PHP compiled with module API=20100525
These options need to match
I've looked for hours trying to find a pre-compiled php_printer.dll for PHP 5.4.7 to no avail. I have concluded that I will have to compile it from source files in the PECL. pecl.php.net/package/printer
 
Having never had to do this before I did what any internet user should do. I googled it and found some information here:
 
It took me all day but the PHP build worked. But then tried to create the php_printer.dll following the dbase example.
First I tried : 
svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/printer/trunk pecl/printer
But it said: 
'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
 
So I just downloaded the files myself from:
svn.php.net/repository/pecl/printer/trunk/
and put them in:
C:\php-sdk\php54dev\vc9\x86\php5.4-201303311430\ext\printer
The files:
config.w32
CREDITS.txt
php_printer.h
printer.c
printer.dsp
printer.php

Tried it both With printer.php and with out.

 

I made sure to download the libraries both from:
windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps/vc9/x86/
Also just the deps file:
deps-5.4-vc9-x86.7z
 
I tried the deps file alone and then added the other, however; every time I received the following when I tried to nmake:

If some one is set up to compile this DLL for 5.4.7 I would greatly appreciate it.

I got a little help from someone at another forum.

 

Hello, 

 

Open 'printer.c' and replace all instances of 'pval' with 'zval' and it should compile.

 

 

Thank you Hackattack, one step closer I hope,

It seemed to have compiled. However; I can't find a printer.dll or a php_printer.dll which is the outcome I was hoping for. 
 
In the Release_TS\ext folder there is a folder named Printer. It contains the following Files:
printer.obj
printer.sbr
vc90.idb
 
I also did the last step:
