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. You may also want to search the archives of this list as
problems with printing come up fairly frequently.

Im having a few odd issues with printing and im hoping someone can help me.
I can manually print to my barcode printer just fine (FILE<PRINT in a web
browser). However if I try and print using PHP printer_write it doesn't
print. Yes I have the php_printer.dll installed. My code:
<?
function getPrinter($SharedPrinterName) {
global $REMOTE_ADDR;
$host = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
return "\\\\".$host."\\".$SharedPrinterName;
}
$handle = printer_open(getPrinter("ZebraZ4M"));
printer_write($handle, "Text to print");
printer_close($handle);
?>
Gives the following error:
Warning: printer_write() [function.printer-write
<http://localhost/test/function.printer-write> ]: couldn't allocate the
printerjob [1804] in W:\www\test\print.php on line 19
And it doesn't print. I'm quite lost. Also, im using uniform server on
windows XP and I do have my printer drivers install since I can print
manually just fine...
It's almost certainly permissions-related. The user that your web server
runs as needs to have access to the printer.
