If you are trying to get the print-out on a printer tied to the server, PHP is maybe going to be involved. If you want it printed to a printer tied to the client (browser) PHP is long-gone and has nothing to do with it by the time you click on "Print" button. There are a bunch of JavaScript "print" buttons/links/scripts you can find with Google to help. If you need your HTML to be made printer-friendly BEFORE you print it, PHP and http://php.net/pdflib may help. Or is it http://php.net/libpdf?
