PECL can have some old stuff on there, php_printer.dll is all but deprecated.
Also, as PHP is a scripting language, it’s incredibly difficult to gain access to hardware functions (like a printer) directly.
You are best off finding or writing printer access functions in something like C++, and running the script using system(); .
Best of luck!
