    Server-side printing of a file...

    I have an internal site that lists PDF files in a folder on the server (Linux / Apache / PHP). The server has a printer connected to it. The site is accessed by a user bringing his/her laptop to a designated room and connecting to the network. I'm looking for a way to allow the users to print any of the PDF files on my server to the printer that is connected to it. I'm trying to avoid having to go around and installing the printer on everyone's laptop. Is this possible with PHP? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    PHP does not have a extension for printing on Linux systems. It does, however, for Windows. Unfortunately I cannot offer anymore help from that, other than, use exec() (or something like) to call your printer.
