Hi, It was decided to move php_printer.dll, as well as other extensions (iisfunc and ixsfunc) from the php repository to PECL. This was not caused by instability. These extensions all work fine (AFAIK).
They were moved from php to PECL to reduce the size of PHP and tehreby reduce the time needed to perform QA with each release. The reference to these files in php.ini will be removed and the documentation should move as well. I'll create PECL packages for these extensions so they can be obtained from the pear.net web site as other PECL extensions. - Frank > > Please have a look at bug #21116 as it mentions > php_printer.dll which is in php.ini but not in the > distro.
