Im trying to add the printer extension to laravel. But I don't know how to do this while using Laravel. It says that I have to add the php_printer.dll to php.ini. But I use Laravel. Does anyone know how I can add this extension to Laravel?
Link: http://php.net/manual/fa/book.printer.php
Update: I added the extension in the ext map but now it says that it can not be found I get the following error: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_printer.dll' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\php_printer.dll (The specified module could not be found.), C:\xampp\php\ext\php_php_printer.dll.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0

Lets first get the terms right.
The extension you are adding isn't a laravel extension. It is a PHP extension. Laravel is a framework that is written in PHP.
You can not just add the directive into the php.ini file and expect it to work. You also need to install the files. In this case you need to get them from PECL.
The question of how to install is already asked and answereed here installing php_printer on wamp server

If you are using XAMPP, open it up and click on apache->config, you can find php.ini there.
