So - if I understand right- situation is this:
- There are four printers.
- Those machines that are somewhere close to printer x, should be able to
communicate to php (when it's rendering the page) that all php-made-printing
from this page request goes to printer x, since it is server PHP that
prints, not the local machine.
- Your personnel - but nobody else - can move any computer to a new
location, that is, closer to another printer than before.
- That's why you need to be able to change easily that location info, that
is again permanent, until you decide move the computer again.
Question is then also, is the cookie right or only way to accomplish this?
Usually kiosks use kiosk mode of the browser. You can start the browser
with http://example.com?printer=a or http://example.com?printer=b etc.,
after that it would be php session variable that can hold the info on the
printer. Or cookie. You could have four shortcut icons on the desktop to
make the starting easy. You could name them in descriptive way:
START-HERE-WHEN-UR-CLOSE-2-PRINTER-X
May it be my stupidity, if I misunderstood you. I hope you find the solution
anyway.
