I have a class that makes use of the php_printer extension but I can't find it anywhere and at php.net it says it's currently unavailable. I googled it, but all I downloaded from other sites was not efficient. It seemed to me it was outdated. I copied the .dll file in the extensions folder and set the configuration in php.ini but I still couldn't use its built-in functions.I have PHP 5.3.1 installed.

What does this class actually *do*? Is there something else you could use instead? – DaveRandom Oct 27 '11 at 13:28

@DaveRandom the class prints a file to a network printer directly through PHP – menislici Oct 27 '11 at 13:31

Then you did not google very well. There still are repositories of precompiled binaries elsewhere:
- https://github.com/maryo/php-5.5-windows-extensions
- http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/snaps/printer/0.1.0-dev/
http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
Just saying it does not work is insufficient. I understand that compiling from source is effortful on Windows (pecl install printer given a proper compiler setup), but at the very least run the PHP interpreter on the commandline after editing the php.ini. It would give you a useful error message in case of linking errors, or none in case you edited the wrong config file. (Too few details to answer.)

http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ appears to have one that dates to 2010.
I'd consider looking for some other solution though, it doesn't look like a very widely supported extension and it's not been updated for at least a year.
