    Hello
    I've set every thing but the print dose not work , in the first i test it with PdfFormat and it's ok but now i want it to print it with my printer(hp printer )

    void MainWindow::SetPrinter()
    {
        printer = new QPrinter(QPrinter::HighResolution);
        printer->setPaperSize(QPrinter::A4);
    
        printer->setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);
        printer->setPageMargins (15,15,15,15,QPrinter::Millimeter);
        printer->setFullPage(false);
        printer->setOutputFileName("output.pdf");
        printer->setOutputFormat(QPrinter::NativeFormat); //you can use native format of system usin QPrinter::NativeFormat
        p_dialog = new QPrintDialog(printer,this);
        p_dialog->setWindowTitle("Print Document");
    
    }
    

    and the print function (not I've called the first fucntion first )

    void MainWindow::PrintCartBill()
    {
        if (p_dialog->exec() != QDialog::Accepted)
            return ;
        ...
        QPainter painter(printer); // create a painter which will paint 'on printer'.
        ... // draw text ,set pen ,set font and few other stuff
        painter.end();
    
    }
    

    but the nothing goes out with my printer ( hp printer )

      Hi,

      I may be wrong but since you are setting the output file name aren't you still printing to a file ?
