Printer Functions

Hi, I am having problems with the printer functions, I have a touch screen pos system and it works very fine with receipt and ticket printers, now the problem I am having is getting it to work on a lan with 2 computer 4 printers, if I send information from A (server) to computer B (slave )which have a printer,

I am getting a printer error, Printer Information dose not leave computer A

does not work: $handle = printer_open("DesktopCocina en Desktop");

works: $handle = printer_open("Cocina");
but printer shows a printing error message

can anyone help me with this?

I am trying to print on a WinXP network printer, this is my test code:

<php
$printer="DESKTOPCocina";
$handle = printer_open($printer);
if(!$handle || $handle == NULL)
{
die('Error connecting to Printer');
}
else
{
printer_start_doc($handle, "My Document");
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
printer_write($handle, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxn");
}
printer_end_doc($handle);
printer_close($handle);
?>

there is no out put to the network printer,
the server printer (local) works fine but not the DESKTOP printer (network),

I have tried all possible ways,

Could you help me with a code sample that works?

NOTE: if I run a DOS / DIR to the network printer it prints ok:

dir > DesktopCocina

the desktop printer prints the DIR data,
so why can't I print with PHP printer function on the cliente side on my LAN?

Thanks very much for your help,
