Printing in Linux

Hello everybody,
Can anyone give information regarding how to print a file in plain text format using PHP. I am using RedHat Linux9.0, httpd-2.0.40-21 and php-4.2.2-17.
I think that print support is not given to linux. I want to know that whether there is any developments in this regard. Please respond. I don't want to take the print from the File->
Print menu or icon. I want to get directly printed when a button is clicked. and I don't want to use Javascript which is inconsistent in many matters. Also that Javascript can't
handle files.
with regards,

It is not clear if you want to print on the server or client side. If on
the server side use lpr command. Client side use javascript to prompt
user to print. What do you mean window.print() is inconsistent?
