Hi,

Is it possible to print FROM postscript file with Qt ?

regards,
thanks.

In Qt4.8 there was
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PostScriptFormat);

QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PostScriptFormat);
printer.setOutputFileName(m_currentTopic+".ps");
qreal xmargin = contentRect.width()*0.01;
qreal ymargin = contentRect.height()*0.01;
printer.setPaperSize(10*contentRect.size()*1.02,QPrinter::DevicePixel);
printer.setPageMargins(xmargin,ymargin,xmargin,ymargin,QPrinter::DevicePixel);
QPainter painter;
painter.begin(&printer);
render(&painter,QRectF(QPointF(0,0),10*contentRect.size()),contentRect);
painter.end();

But it have since been removed it seems. Also this was for creation only, i think.

Also im not sure with you use case.
If you have PS files AND a PS printer (with ps driver) you can actually send it directly to it
as file/text stream and it will print it.
