DocumentProperties is probably trying to load some 3rd party printer dll extensions. Suggest using procmon.exe and filter for access denied to see what is failing Louis Solomon www.SteelBytes.com -----Original Message----- From: Venkat Raman Don [mailto:Don.Raman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, 24 February 2010 3:50 AM To: RQuadling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Keith Davis; Pierre Joye; Robert; php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: What about php 5.3 and printers or PHP_PRINTER.DLL ? Richard, I tried that. I passed handle returned by OpenPrinter to DocumentProperties but same result. It's not that function fails for any bad parameter reason. I am getting error number 5 while calling GetLastError() which means some sort of access denied. But then why OpenPrinter is going through I am not able to understand.

Note that this buffer can be larger than a DEVMODE structure if the printer driver appends private data to the structure. If the function displays the property sheet, the return value is either IDOK or IDCANCEL, depending on which button the user selects. If the function does not display the property sheet and is successful, the return value is IDOK. If the function fails, the return value is less than zero. --------------------------------- No indication upon what the failure is from the call to DocumentProperties, but I wonder if supplying Null for the first 2 parameters is appropriate. The second parameter is probably going to have to be the handle returned by OpenPrinter. But this is just me reading the MSDN pages. I'm no expert! Sorry.
