WampServer

Hi, I am trying to print in a printer from php but I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open()

I am currently using php 5.5.12 and apache 2.4.9 installed with the latest wamp. I have downloaded the php_printer.dll and placed it in the extension folder.
I have also included this line in the php.ini printer.default_printer=PHP_INI_ALL and the line for the extension.
Please help!
Thanx

Hi florp,


Did you install the 32bit or 64bit version of WAMPServer?

I assume you got the php_printer.dll from here 'http://downloads.php.net/pierre/' but which one of the versions did you download.

If you got it from somewhere else where was that?

Hi, I have the 64 bit version. I did not download it form there. I tried opening that link and never loaded. Now I am getting an error when I start wamp that it says:

PHP Startup: Uanble to load dynamic library
'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_printer.dll' -%1 is not a valid application.

Now due to this new error I can assume that de dll is not valid, do you have another place where to download it??

Thanx
Florencia

For it to run with WAMPServer2.5(64) you have to have the 64bit (of course) and the thread safe version compiled with VC11 which I think is this one.
Thread Safe/Non Thread Safe is normally indicated in the zip's filename by either (-ts-) or (-nts-) normally one version will have one of these designators and the other you have to assume is the other one.

Officially Apache/PHP will load dll's compiled with VC9,VC10 and VC11 but if you can find one compiled with VC11 it is safest.

Ok, now I could load the website 'http://downloads.php.net/pierre/' the latest I could find is the one compiled with vc9. Tried it and did not work. At least I don´t have the not valid application error but I still get the Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open() error.

Still looking for the one with VC11 if you can fin it please post the site. Thanks for your help.

These look promising :-

I googled 'php_printer download VC11'

On Github

On pecl


There are others, but personally I avoid all the get your dll's here sites as who knows what you might be downloading

Yeeeeeeeeeeees!!! The pecl one worked! I googled before but never found the pecl site to download it and the git one did not worked. I have downloaded the 64 thread safe version. The right link is this one
[windows.php.net]

Thank you a lot for your help! You are very kind!

I have Apache Web Server 2.2.8 version on Windows 7 64bits I tried to copy this files into my /ext/ but did not work I still getting this message Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open() in ...

I will appreciate any help because I'm about to give up with this

regards Luis Moreno

I am not exactly sure but I think Apache 2.2.8 is probably compiled with MSVC6 so you will have to look for a printer.dll compiled with that compiler.
