couldn't allocate the printerjob [1804] - error on windows 2000
I was printing in several places in one module, and kept getting this error after just two printer_write()'s. It was solved by printing everything into a buffer first, then calling printer_write() just once.
EX:
$_SESSION['PrintBuffer']=''; //printer buffer
print_sub_1();
print_sub_2();
print_sub_3();
$handle=printer_open("EPSON TM-T88III Receipt");
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
printer_write($handle, $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']);
//print $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']; //for testing
printer_close($handle);

If you need printer_write you must to change the datatype:
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
