couldn't allocate the printerjob [1804] - error on windows 2000
I was printing in several places in one module, and kept getting this error after just two printer_write()'s.  It was solved by printing everything into a buffer first, then calling printer_write() just once.
EX:
 $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']='';         //printer buffer
 print_sub_1();
 print_sub_2();
 print_sub_3();
 $handle=printer_open("EPSON TM-T88III Receipt");
 printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW");
 printer_write($handle, $_SESSION['PrintBuffer']);
//print $_SESSION['PrintBuffer'];         //for testing
 printer_close($handle);
