PHP doesn't really have the device control you're looking for. I would suggest looking at Javascript to print off a page.
Code: Select all
<a href="javascript:print()">PRINT THIS PAGE!</a>
Of course, being javascript you can call it whenever you like. A good solution I have used before is to make an i-frame on the page (1px X 1px) and load the page you want to print into that frame, that way you can use a separate page and have more control about which pictures are printed and where your line-breaks are.
Take a look at this:

once again, I would load what you want to print in to a new page (in an i-frame) and then print that. It will give you much less trouble.

You can use special CSS for printing.
Also to print part of page - make special page for printing
