See more:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

include("PrintSend.php");

include("PrintSendLPR.php");

echo "

PrintSendLPR example

";

$lpr = new PrintSendLPR();

$lpr->setHost("127.0.0.1"); //Put your printer IP here

$lpr->setData("C:\your\path\test.txt"); //Path to file, OR string to print.

echo
$lpr->printJob("someQueue");//If your printer has a built-in printserver, it might just accept anything as a queue name.

echo "

Debug

".
$lpr->getDebug()."

";

?>

What I have tried:

I tried printer_open(); with different variations but nothing worked

I haven't used printing with PHP, but try this

$printer = "printername"); //or try $printer = "\\\\localhost\\printername"); 
if($ph = printer_open($printer)) 
{ 
   // Get file contents 
   $fh = fopen("filename.ext", "rb"); 
   $content = fread($fh, filesize("filename.ext")); //your path for the file goes in the place of filename.ext
   fclose($fh); 
        
   // Set print mode to RAW and send PDF to printer 
   printer_set_option($ph, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW"); 
   printer_write($ph, $content); 
   printer_close($ph); 
} 
else "Couldn't connect...";
