either you let the client (browser) print the page - this has nothing to do with
php OR you let the server print 'something' (based on a specific request from the user
- i.e. he clicked on 'print' link or something) in which case you will _need_
to have access to a printer from the server (i.e. it needs to have a printer configured)
basically if the server 'has' no printer it can't print.
