PHP is server side language can't access to client OS drivers (such as printer and etc)

, Also you can access & request to run PHP file scripts only from browser by domain or use cron job(cron is a Linux utility which schedules a command or script on your server to run automatically), you can't access to client system and use printer driver, but, for this you must use APP that installed on client OS,
or automatically run a js script, if client OS is linux: use cron job , if client OS is windows: use Cron Task or Scheduled Tasks

you can print directly to any printer using PHP. I am using PHP for printing.

you can use mike42 escpos github plugin.

after download you need to make a connector for your printer. use this

after you can print. my sample for a shared printer and for a php file that is running by schedule task is:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\FilePrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\CapabilityProfile;
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector;


$connector = new WindowsPrintConnector("smb://computername/printername");
$printer = new Printer($connector);

$printer -> text("hello world");
$printer -> text("\n");
$printer -> text("\n");
$printer -> text("hello again");
$printer -> cut();
$printer -> close();

If you are using chrome, right click the shortcut icon, edit the target and add --kiosk-printing , it does the magic
