how to give command to printer without user interaction (without print dialog)

I am creating an application in PHP and want to give a command to a printer but problem is that there are more than two printers and I want to give the command to a different printer by clicking on different button without the print dialog.

you can use:

printer_list()

function to get list of printers attached to server, and then use:

printer_open

to open connection to printer providing printer name as parameter to the function. I hope that helps you to some extent

In online web applications you can't.

A workaround could be to write Java Applet or in IE you can do this via ActiveX controls.
