Hi Derick

Yes, it not works, now i trying without a argument in the printer_open() function, and i dont see the error again, but i see the following words

Warning: couldn't allocate the printerjob in c:\archivos de programa\apache group\apache\htdocs\avances1\porfetel\impresiones.php on line 9

and my program is :

$handle = printer_open("Epson");
$HOLA="Esta es una pryueba";

printer_start_doc($handle,$HOLA,$HOLA);
printer_start_page($handle);
echo "hola";
printer_write($handle, "Text to print");
printer_end_page($handle);
printer_end_doc($handle);

a crash bug (i could reproduce) is be fixed in cvs.
(please also check your printer driver setup!)
you should also consider using printer_draw_text instead of printer_write (which is used for raw printer data only), see http://php.net/manual/en/function.printer-select-font.php for an example.
if you need printer_write you may need to change the datatype:
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
