If you are using the default version of XAMPP then you are probably using a 64-bit version of PHP. If the DLL for the printer COM API is 32-bit then PHP would have trouble loading it, there is some discussion of this issue here.

Fatal Error: "Class not registered" creating COM Object

The OP of that topic found that this page helped to solve their problem.

If you are using a 32-bit version of PHP then make sure that the DLL is correctly registered with Windows. Assuming that the DLL is called TSCActiveX.dll you can re-register it with the following command:

RegSrv32.exe TSCActiveX.dll
