printing on IIS7

Hi,
=A0
I have migrated a php site from Linux to windows. The only remaining =
problem seems to be=A0printing, naturally I have=A0had to change the =
code and that's where the problems have started. I have the following =
very simple code:=A0

   
$txt =3D "Hello World";
$handle =3D printer_open("DELL3115");
printer_write($handle, $txt);
printer_close($handle);
?>

When I run this from the command prompt using php -f ..... It works =
fine, in other words it=A0prints, when I run this script through the web =
browser then I get this:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 262144) (tried to allocate =
4294967295 bytes) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testprn.php on line 4

I have read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=3D184291 =
and many others, which all lead me to believe that it is an account / =
permission problem. On a side note:=A0 $handle =3D =
printer_open("non-existing-printer"); gives me a normal error in the =
sense of "can't find printer".

I run Windows 2008 64 bit, IIS7, php 5.2 32 bit ( I have enabled 32 bit =
apps in IIS and the rest of the site works fine), using FastCGI.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,=20

RE: {** SPAM **} Re: [PHP-WIN] printing on IIS7

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for your quick reply. I have 19 networked barcode printers, which
I like to print to using the code that I have. Changing it would be a
bit of a job. Considering that this works on a box using IIS 6, I don't
want to give up on this yet.

Thanks,

Why don't you just use javascript to print the content?

Think it's something like window.print(), but not 100% sure.

Stay well

Strangely enough, I've just had a very similar issue with another
application (Timeware needing to print a "Who Is In" report when the
fire alarm rings).

The issue we found was that the account being used to run the service
did not have access to the printer. In our case, Timeware didn't bomb
out, but nothing was printed.

As soon as we gave permissions to the printer for the Timeware
service, all was well.


Now with regards to IIS, I'm not too sure.

What I have half worked out ...

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.fastcgi.imper sonate is
required to be set to 1.

The ApplicationPool that your site(s) run under needs to be set to
something which can print.

That did not work for me. Thanks for your quick reply though. The
