With this class you will able to print text without any drivers, you only need to write the host (ip) of the printer. Developed by Pedro Villena (). Status ------ [](#status) This project is very much an early work-in-progress. While it is usable, there are no guarantees that it will not break or cause unintended effects. Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) Assuming you have downloaded the Class PhpNetworkLprPrinter.php, you can get started by including the file in your program: ``` include("PhpNetworkLprPrinter.php"); ``` Somewhere you need to initialize the network printer in your code. An example of doing it with a printer located in host 192.168.1.136: ``` $lpr = new PhpNetworkLprPrinter("192.168.1.136"); ``` Or if you prefer, including the port: ``` $lpr = new PhpNetworkLprPrinter("192.168.1.136", 515); ``` After initializing the printer, to print some text you need to write the following code: ``` $lpr->printText("Hello world!"); ``` Debugging --------- [](#debugging) If you like to debug the application, there is a function called "getDebug". ``` $array_debug = $lpr->getDebug(); ``` This function returns an array with the following structure: ``` Array ( [0] => Array ( [message] => string [time] => timestamp [type] => message / error ) [1] => Array ( [message] => string [time] => timestamp [type] => message / error ) .... ) ``` License ------- [](#license) Copyright 2011 Pedro Villena ().
