Can I automate the process of using my printer? Thanks.
1. I have PHP, MYSQL and Apache server set up on a windows machine.
2. Pull data out of database and echo to web page displayed by Firefox.
3. PHP accesses Firefox command to File > Print... and prints this page.
All of this is automated using cron job or cURL

I am trying to visualize what is possible for me to program. It looks like I will design a semi automated system that can do everything but click print.

Can php access the print command in a web browser to print the web page on paper?
Expert: duncanb7 replied at 2024-08-13 18:42:07
you are correct
So author need to clarify
whether the printing is for himself at command line that is okay
OR he want its users do some printing on browser ?

No, he can't do that thru the browser. He could print on the PHP command line but there is no way that he can force the browser to print something. And remember that when the page shows in the browser, PHP has already stopped running for that page.

But author said he got apache server on his window machine , and he might be using
apache Xampp server as window server so it might be okay

@duncanb7, that command will only work on the server where PHP runs. It can not be used to print on the 'users' computer thru the browser.

No, PHP only runs on the server. It can be used to send a page to the browser but then it's done. And nothing in the browser can print a page without the user taking action. You can't automatically print the page.
