Hello, I'm a *novice* at both using PHP and UNIX, and came across a
problem while trying to modify an ex-coworkers PHP code for printing.
The original script sent one huge print job to our printing server,
which worked fine since we weren't printing duplex. We'd like to now
split the jobs up and send them individually, which we easily achieved
using a while loop to send each job.
The problem is that since the printer is in duplex mode now, if you
have two jobs which are 1 sheet each they will print them each on one
side of the paper. Obviously not a good thing for two seperate bills.
My questions is that is there a PHP function/variable that we can test
which will tell us if there is a queue to print, or if the printer is
free of jobs? I am mirroring a similar UNIX specific post in the UNIX
newsgroup, but was wondering if there was a PHP-specific answer to this
problem.
Best regards,
Chris Bennett, NapaNet

Why not just have the job print one extra, blank page if the total
number of pages is odd? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Could someone point me in the direction of a good example of coding
report printing from database tables through VB?
I have 5 tables that I need to run a report from. They are actually
very small, 1 - 8 columns wide, containing from 1 - 24 records in each
table. So by my estimation, the whole database, should print to a
single sheet of paper, if formated properly.
Problem is, in all the VB5, 6 books and tutorial sites that I've got...

OK, I'll assume silence means "no", so new question:

Hi all... Is there a way to print a PDF file directly from Python
without having Acrobat installed? I know about ReportLab. It's a python
module that lets you create almost any PDF document, but I still don't
know if it supports printing, so I'm looking for a Python module that
could do it. I want to print a PDF file just like if I were doing it
from Acrobat.

Hi:
My Linux-based Python/Tkinter application runs nicely, and printing
works just fine (to a user-selected file, or an "lpr" device specified
in the Entry box). Alas, the user wants to run it under MS Win, and of
course will want to print the canvas for posterity.
A Google search turned up a similar request from many years ago, which
seemed to go unanswered.

script is printing output correct but not the actual output.
Basically what the script is doing it taking a 1 flat file
then it is splits the file into smaller files in 1000 record increments
then it creates another file and adds the header the file contents of the old file.
and the file with the header is then renamed to file format i want which is txt.
