If you are trying to get the print-out on a printer tied to the
server, PHP is maybe going to be involved.
If you want it printed to a printer tied to the client (browser) PHP
is long-gone and has nothing to do with it by the time you click on
"Print" button.
There are a bunch of JavaScript "print" buttons/links/scripts you can
find with Google to help.
If you need your HTML to be made printer-friendly BEFORE you print it,
PHP and http://php.net/pdflib may help. Or is it
http://php.net/libpdf? I can never remember.
