PHP is a server-side scripting language. If you need to control printing, that's going to be handled client side. For example, you can include a button on your page, or an icon of a printer that lauches the printer controls of the user's PC. What you need to do is display the page accordingly so it's layout is printer friendly. You do that by appying the appropriate styles. You can use the @media rule to set the layout printer friendly.

Hi as JorgeM said you need a js for it to be done...my suggestion is
- Full the data from your db and arrange it as you desire
- On page load use windows.print() or add a button or image that when click will call the print dialog box.
like
on page load
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="window.print()">
<?php
DATA FROM DB
?>
</body>
</html>
or using an image or button
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
DATA FROM DB
?>
<img src="printer.png" width="28" height="28" onclick="window.print()" />
<input type="button" value="Print this page" onclick="printpage()">
</body>
</html>

Unless you have defined a printpage() function in JavaScript, that button will not do anything. Your <img> tag uses the right code window.print(), you could change the button to use the same thing:
<input type="button" value="Print this page" onclick="window.print()">
As for problems with a dot-matrix printer, those aren't going to be resolved by anything you can do in the browser. The print dialog opened by window.print() is the browser's print dialog the same as if the user chose to print the page themselves. What problems exactly are you encountering?
