QPrintDialog Error on QT Windows Environment

neel2818

Hi All,

We have wuery regarding QprintDialog.
Following code we are using for QPrintDialog.

@
QPrinter *printer = new QPrinter;
int total = 0;
printer->setPageSize(QPrinter::A5);
printer->setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);
printer->setOutputFileName("./print.pdf");
QPrintDialog *printDialog = new QPrintDialog(printer, this);

if (printDialog->exec() == QDialog::Accepted)
{
QPainter p(printer);
.....
}
@

When the above code execute then after printDialog->exec() statement it gives following error.

@
QPrintDialog: Cannot be used on non-native printers
QPrintDialog: Cannot be used on non-native printers
@

Interesting is that whne i execute same code in Linux then it execute successfully and also print the page we have given
But in windows environment it gives above error.
So what is the issue ?

Regards,
Neel

QPrintDialog can't be used with pdfs on Windows because it is a native print dialog and has no knowledge of Qt's PDF printer.
