PDF library then print that.
Good luck
Have fun

---Start of Code
//open file needed to be created
$myfile = fopen("/tmp/$session_ident.dat", "w");
//initialize variable to hold file contents
$filecontents = 'RGAJMA11031998

BANNER '.$session_ident.' Server Job: '.$dateformat.'

PRINTER \\\\'.$data[3].'\\'.$data[4].'

';
//place content into file
fputs($myfile, $filecontents);
for ($n=0; $n < count($numtoprint); $n++){
	$forminfo .= "$formname[$n]      $numtoprint[$n]\n";
}
fputs($myfile, $forminfo);

//close file
fclose($myfile);
//print file created
//printing to system
//using backticks
echo `lpr -P lj4000 /tmp/$session_ident.dat`;
