Version info changed The printer extension is still available for 4.3.1 Is it really moved to PECL? As long as the docs are not moved, and printer extension will be continued to be distributed with the 'main release' of PHP the docs should be updated. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-19 23:19:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Appears to be an abandoned PECL extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-16 21:07:46] mtntrip at yahoo dot com The original code presented by joerglklein will not print at all for me. I get the same errors on both Win 98 and Win NT 4 SP4 using a Generic Text driver as well as a printer specific driver. I found if I put the printer_create_dc() and printer_set_option() outside of printer_start_doc() and printer_start_page() that it did print without most errors, but of course it didn't print correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 10:43:25] joergklein at web dot de take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.printer-create-dc.php at first you should replace printer_endpage($handle); with printer_end_page($handle); his is the correct code: 01: <?$handle = printer_open(); 02: printer_start_doc($handle); 03: printer_start_page($handle); 04: 05: printer_create_dc($handle); 06: /* do some stuff with the dc */ 07: printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_TEXT_COLOR, "333333"); 08: printer_draw_text($handle, 1, 1, "text"); 09: printer_delete_dc($handle); 10: 11: /* create another dc */ 12: printer_create_dc($handle); 13: printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_TEXT_COLOR, "000000"); 14: printer_draw_text($handle, 1, 1, "text"); 15: /* do some stuff with the dc */ 16: 17: printer_delete_dc($handle); 18: 19: printer_end_page($handle); <----- the coorect line 20: printer_end_doc($handle); 21: printer_close($handle); 22: ?> Second: when I tried out this example I get an one error and one warning: Warning: couldn't end the page in /test.php on line 19 Fatal error: couldn't terminate print job in /test.php on line 20 When I try to open a special printer with $handle = printer_open("$printer"); I get these errors and warnings: Warning: No DeviceContext created in /test.php on line 17 Warning: couldn't end the page in /test.php on line 19 Fatal error: couldn't terminate print job in /test.php on line 20 So I think there a some problems with the Device Contexts Joerg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14283&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
