Php problem

[lazaroskyr]

My php version is 5.1.6 and OS is WinXP.The printer is OKI microline3321 dot matrix.Here is the code:

php:
[PHP]$handle = printer_open("M L3321");
printer_set_opt ion($handle,PRI NTER_ORIENTATIO N,PRINTER_ORIEN TATION_LANDSCAP E);
printer_set_opt ion($handle,PRI NTER_PAPER_FORM AT, PRINTER_FORMAT_ CUSTOM);
printer_set_opt ion($handle,PRI NTER_PAPER_WIDT H,320);
printer_set_opt ion($handle,PRI NTER_PAPER_LENG TH,250);
printer_start_d oc($handle,"PHP printing test");
$font = printer_create_ font("Arial", 10, 7, PRINTER_FW_NORM AL,false, false, false, 0);
printer_select_ font($handle, $font);
printer_start_p age($handle);

printer_draw_te xt($handle,$var 1,980,540);//is printed
printer_draw_te xt($handle,$var 2,1080,540); //is NOT printed

printer_end_pag e($handle);
printer_delete_ font($font);
printer_end_doc ($handle);
printer_close($ handle);
[/PHP]

Is there another way to print to custom paper from php?

PHP itself does not have printer handling code. Usually the best way, without tying yourself to a data stream and dedicated devices, is to do your page makeup via a CSS dedicated print media stylesheet and using javascript window.print to actually start the print itself.
