Printer Functions - print a file

I've scoured the php.net online manual and other notes about Printer
functions and do not see how I simply send a file to the printer using
the Printer functions.

Can anyone help?

(I can open my printer and print text to a page, but I do not see how to
simply print an existing file - a gif image file, in this case.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

PHP cannot do this directly, it needs something that understand the
particular file type you're wanting to print. Your best bet is to find a
command line utility that can do what you need and call that from PHP.
