Answer 1

printer is a pecl package, so the right way to install it is

$ pecl install printer

or

$ pear install pecl/printer

Now pecl does not ship windows dlls in their packages, so you cannot download it via pecl/pear at all on windows.

Note that the printer page has no releases, so you can't install it via pecl at all - http://pecl.php.net/package/printer
