print on a printer server - El Forum - 11-26-2010

Hi,
I am using codeigniter for develop a little management system.
I'm fighting with this problem:
When a customer clicks on submit, are extrapolated data from a DB then the server will print to a printer attached to it.
I try on linux :

Code:
system or exec('lpr path_file/file -Pprinter');

//This command works if running from a terminal but in file php, with system or exec, nothing do

On windows 7 with:

Code:
system or exec('print /D:printer path_file/file');

//This command doesn't works in prompt and dosen't work in file php, with system or exec, nothing do

Help me!!
