Printing multiline tickets

PayanAx

Hi,

I'm using a printer VKP80III to print tickets/recipes.
And for now, the code look like this:

QPrinterInfo _printer = ...;

...

QPrinter printer(_printer);
printer.setPaperSize(QSize(80, 120), QPrinter::Millimeter);
printer.setPageMargins(15, 15, 15, 15, QPrinter::Millimeter);
printer.setFullPage(true);

QString tmp = message;
tmp.replace("\n", "\r\n");

QPainter painter;
painter.begin(&printer);
painter.setFont(QFont("Tahoma", 8));
painter.drawText(QPoint(0, 0), tmp);
painter.end();

My paper is 80x120 mm.
I expect an output like:

--------------------------------
ANY BANK
--------------------------------
TERMINAL #	123456
SEQUENCE #	12345
AUTH #	25688KK
DATE 	11/11/2014
TIME	16:52:24
	
CARD NUMBER	**** **** **** 0069
	
CUSTOMER NAME	BERNARD MADOFF
	
DISPENSED AMOUNT	$200.00
REQUESTED AMOUNT	$200.00
FROM ACCOUNT	CHECKING
TERMINAL FEE	$1.00
	
TOTAL AMOUNT	$201.00
BALANCE	$22,234,396.82


--------------------------------.

But only get this:

-------------------------------- ANY BANK -------------------

The rest doesn't print since it never go to a new line.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

ps: The ticket content is just a test, I'm not working for a bank.

QPainter::drawText(const QPoint & position, const QString & text)
does not support newlines, you need to use the
void QPainter::drawText(const QRectF & rectangle, int flags, const QString & text)
version of that function to get those to work.
