To "statline" below:

Please read http://php.net/printer regarding the printer package _not_ being a part of PHP but a PECL extension and only working in a Windows environment.

You need to download and install the php_printer.dll!

couldn't allocate the printerjob [1804] - error on windows 2000



I was printing in several places in one module, and kept getting this error after just two printer_write()'s.  It was solved by printing everything into a buffer first, then calling printer_write() just once.



EX:

  $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']='';         //printer buffer

  print_sub_1(); 

  print_sub_2();

  print_sub_3();



  $handle=printer_open("EPSON TM-T88III Receipt");

  printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");

  printer_write($handle, $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']);

//print $_SESSION['PrintBuffer'];         //for testing

  printer_close($handle);

If you need printer_write you must to change the datatype:

printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
