QPrinter does not show my printer

Trino

Hello,

The QPrinter class does not show my printer. Instead, it says "Print to file (PDF)" instead of the printername.
Also, I can not change/select a printer.

I use the following code:

@ QPrinter print(QPrinter::HighResolution);

print.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::NativeFormat);
print.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
print.setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);
print.setCreator(PROGRAM_NAME);

QPrintDialog printerdialog(&print, this);
printerdialog.setWindowTitle("Print");

if(printerdialog.exec()==QDialog::Accepted)
{
etc.

I'm using openSUSE 12.2 with KDE. CUPS is installed, also the development files for CUPS.
I configured Qt with the option "-cups". The output of ./configure stated that CUPS is enabled.
Cups management on my pc works. Printing with other applications (Kate, LinbreOffice, Gimp) works fine.

Any idea's?

I found the cause, it's a bug in Qt 5.0.1 that occurs only when you build the static libs of Qt.

So, building Qt static, breaks QPrinter.
