printer_open

This forum and others suggest that I must go into the php.ini to enable the [URL=“http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.printer-start-doc.php”]printer_open() command – annotated as (PECL print SVN).

I am using the XAMPP 1.7.4 download which contains PHP5.2 (or maybe later). There are three php.ini files: php.ini, php.ini-development and php.ini-production. They appear to be identical and that’s what I’d expect.

But none of them have the

;printer.default_printer

the references suggest I change. Any thoughts?

Currently I put up a html page as a poor-man’s print preview and then use a css media=print to make the user click away.
