How to print with QPrinter

MrLibya

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 ?
