how to print automatically using php

Question

Hey I am trying to print a text using php. This print should occur automatically. Now I am testing in normal HP deskjet printer but in future it prints through thermal printer. Now my code is

<?php
$printer = "\\\\LOCALHOST\\HP Deskjet 1510 series";
$fp = fopen($printer, "w");
$data = "hello";
fwrite($fp,$data);

This code runs fine with no error but no printing occurs.

printing status is like below enter image description here

please help..

This would require PHP access to the user's local system.

You can try the following code.

<?php
$printer = "\\\\LOCALHOST\\HP Deskjet 1510 series");
if($ph = printer_open($printer))
{   
   $data= "Hello";
   printer_set_option($ph, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
   printer_write($ph, $data);
  printer_close($ph);
}
 else "Couldn't connect...";
?>

do you have a php_printer.dll enabled? Use this link for downloading the file dlldll.com/php_printer.dll_download.html and in your php.ini file -> add the following : printer.default_printer=PHP_INI_ALL extension=php_printer.dll

The libray php_printer.dll must be loaded in your server(wamp or any other) in order for the above code to work. try restarting server. makesure to load correct libray based on your php version see here windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/snaps/printer/0.1.0-dev for more dlls for several php versions.
