As a workaround, I've found that I can print from a shared printer using the cli version of PHP. Go figure. I've bundled any printing routines into a separate script and then use shell_exec() to call the CLI version of PHP to run this script. What a kludge.

If I use the printer_write() function, I can see text , but the thing is, I would like to print with a preset page setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-29 21:24:13] jerry dot martin at gmail dot com Try installing the network printers as local printers. You can do so by setting up the port as local. I did it here at work because I was having the same problems with network printers, but works fine when you setup the printer as local. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-29 20:15:20] spilon at groupehytech dot com Hi, I run a basic wamp with windows xp and I can't print on a network printer...
