I know you can write files using PHP, but I was wondering if it was possible to print these files directly to a printer, on a Windows machine. Are there any pre-built functions to do this?
EDIT: I’m on localhost by the way

If you are asking about whether it is possible to print from the server to a machine the server happens to connect to, then the answer is, Yes. (With CUPS it is possible to get this working with Linux/Mac).
If you’re trying to get something to print on a user’s printer, you will need to use JavaScript
