In that case I really can't help you since I've never heard of Uniform Server. Check the task manager and see what user it's running as. Whatever the outcome I would say it's worth asking on a mailing list for that particular server as well as here. -Stut > -----Original Message----- > From: Stut [mailto:stuttle(a)gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 2:05 PM > To: Moore, Joshua > Cc: php-windows(a)lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Printing via webapp > > Moore, Joshua wrote: >> But under printer permissions its set to allow "everyone" to print. > > I don't know enough about Windows security to be much more help here, > but I will say that if you're using IIS then the IUSR_machine user is > 'special' and lacks a lot of the permissions that normal users have. > > Probably worth checking the result of printer_open - I'm guessing it's > failing.

It was mentioned on this or the Db list recently. Presumably then, Apache's permissions would be the determining factor? http://www.uniformserver.com/ Niel
From: Juan Ignacio Borda on 30 May 2007 08:44 I'm intrested on this function too, did you tried to print locally let's say to LPT1 ? this will jelp you debug if it's the case that you can't print or acces a shared resource. > >> In that case I really can't help you since I've never heard of Uniform >> Server. >> > > Uniform Server is a WAMP package.

From: "Moore, Joshua" on 30 May 2007 09:24 Yes it is a printer on LPT1. Well IF it is indeed a permissions problem then I would guess its permissions on the barcode printer im trying to print too because if I change the printer to my LaserJet it prints fine with no warnings or errors. However looked on the PHP manual comments it said this: "If you need printer_write you must to change the datatype: printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW"); " so my code: <? function getPrinter($SharedPrinterName) { global $REMOTE_ADDR; $host = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR); return "\\\\".$host."\\".$SharedPrinterName; } $handle = printer_open(getPrinter("ZebraZ4M")); printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW"); printer_write($handle, "Text to print"); printer_close($handle); ?> The warning goes away but it doesn't print!! :( Nothing in the apache2 error logs :( Im stuck, any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Juan Ignacio Borda [mailto:webmaster(a)baexporta.gba.gov.ar] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 5:44 AM To: php-windows(a)lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Printing via webapp I'm intrested on this function too, did you tried to print locally let's say to LPT1 ? this will jelp you debug if it's the case that you can't print or acces a shared resource. > >> In that case I really can't help you since I've never heard of Uniform >> Server. >> > > Uniform Server is a WAMP package.

One more thing, When I run my php script I see that the printjob gets put into the windows printing list for that printer however it pops up, says its spolling under the status then disappears and nothing prints... :( -----Original Message----- From: Moore, Joshua [mailto:Joshua.Moore(a)tusd1.org] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 6:24 AM To: Juan Ignacio Borda; php-windows(a)lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Printing via webapp Yes it is a printer on LPT1.
