printing on the server where the website is, or printing on the client's
computer? only one is PHP based...

You can do the following, if u can know all the page layouts, and then
put them insinde and array, then u can loop one by one, then, you can
migrate the array to javascript, where u have the window.print()
function, i havent try that function with params but i guess you can
pass some params (like a page layout) to window.print() function.

Will I be able to control the printing at the client side? I want to
send print jobs from the client side instead of using a server printer.

staccato_en is correct. You can't do it in PHP. PHP is server-side
only, and can't access anything on the client side (other than cookies -
but that's really the http protocol doing it).

And you could even use javascript to load the next page after printing.

However, if I found someone doing that on my system, I'd be gone from
that site in no time. But if it's on an intranet or otherwise has
restricted access, it might be ok.
