Thanks for your points

Have a nice day

@ronipats: Out of the last 10 questions, you've given only two grades of "A" and this is unheard-of behavior in a community where the default and expected grade is "A."  You are required by the community standards to explain any grade that is less than "A" and you have not provided an explanation here, so I am reopening the question to give you a chance to explain yourself.

Since you gave the worst possible grade anyone can give to a colleague at EE, you may want to review the grading guidelines as you formulate your explanation.

You're on firm ground by using FPDF.  There is also TCPDF, but I don't think the choice of PDF generation software matters.  

The question seems to evince some confusion about the roles of the client and the server.  These are terms of art in modern computer design.  More information is available here:

The server can respond to a client request by sending a document, but it cannot initiate an action on the client machine.  In other words, if your clients are using the internet to talk to your server, then the clients have to be the ones that tell the browser to print the document.  However if you're using a networked printer on Windows, you may be in luck.

Please see http://www.php.net/manual/en/printer.installation.php

It's a windows-only extension that is intended to make a networked printer do things.  In other words, it does not work over the internet and support may be spotty or release dependent.

I don't believe you can do that.  PHP running on the server does not have access to a user's printer (though it might be able to print to a printer connected to the server).  Even when you have generated the PDF, you still have to send it to the user.  When a user prints a document, it will have to print from a file on their computer.  

While most browsers have a way to open a PDF these days, you can not force it to be printed.  It is one of the basic security restrictions in all browsers is that you can not force anything to be done on the user's computer.  They have to be able to approve anything you want to do on their machine.  That includes printing and downloading and uploading files.
