void printer_draw_text ( resource $printer_handle , string $text , int $x , int $y ) - The function draws text at position x, y using the selected font.
bool printer_end_doc ( resource $printer_handle ) - Closes a new document in the printer spooler. The document is now ready for printing.
bool printer_end_page ( resource $printer_handle ) - The function closes the active page in the active document.
mixed printer_get_option ( resource $printer_handle , string $option ) - The function retrieves the configuration setting of option.
array printer_list ( int $enumtype [, string $name [, int $level ]] ) - The function enumerates available printers and their capabilities.
int printer_logical_fontheight ( resource $printer_handle , int $height ) - The function calculates the logical font height of height.
resource printer_open ([ string $printername ] ) - This function tries to open a connection to the given printer.
void printer_select_brush ( resource $printer_handle , resource $brush_handle ) - The function selects a brush as the active drawing object of the actual device context. A brush is used to fill shapes. If you draw an rectangle the brush is used to draw the shapes, while the pen is used to draw the border.
void printer_select_font ( resource $printer_handle , resource $font_handle ) - The function selects a font to draw text.
void printer_select_pen ( resource $printer_handle , resource $pen_handle ) - The function selects a pen as the active drawing object of the actual device context. A pen is used to draw lines and curves. I.e. if you draw a single line the pen is used. If you draw an rectangle the pen is used to draw the borders, while the brush is used to fill the shape. If you haven't selected a pen before drawing shapes, the shape won't be outlined.
