The QPrinter class is a paint device that paints on a printer. Más...
#include <qprinter.h>
The QPrinter class is a paint device that paints on a printer.
On Windows it uses the built-in printer drivers. On X11 it generates postscript and sends that to lpr, lp, or another print command.
QPrinter is used in much the same way as QWidget and QPixmap are used. The big difference is that you must keep track of the pages.
QPrinter supports a number of settable parameters, most of which can be changed by the end user when the application calls QPrinter::setup().
The most important parameters are: setOrientation() tells QPrinter which page orientation to use (virtual). setPageSize() tells QPrinter what page size to expect from the printer. setResolution() tells QPrinter what resolution you wish the printer to provide (in dpi). setFullPage() tells QPrinter whether you want to deal with the full page or just with the part the printer can draw on. The default is FALSE, so that by default you should be able to paint on (0,0). If TRUE the origin of the coordinate system will be in the top left corner of the paper and most probably the printer will not be able to paint something there due to it's physical margins. setNumCopies() tells QPrinter how many copies of the document it should print. setMinMax() tells QPrinter and QPrintDialog what the allowed range for fromPage() and toPage() are.
Except where noted, you can only call the set functions before setup(), or between QPainter::end() and setup(). (Some may take effect between setup() and begin(), or between begin() and end(), but that's strictly undocumented and such behaviour may differ depending on platform.)
There are also some settings that the user sets (through the printer dialog) and that applications are expected to obey:
pageOrder() tells the application program whether to print first-page-first or last-page-first.
colorMode() tells the application program whether to print in color or grayscale. (If you print in color and the printer does not support color, Qt will try to approximate. The document may take longer to print, but the quality should not be made visibly poorer.)
fromPage() and toPage() indicate what pages the application program should print.
paperSource() tells the application progam which paper source to print from.
You can of course call these functions to establish defaults before you ask the user through QPrinter::setup().
Once you start printing, calling newPage() is essential. You will probably also need to look at the QPaintDeviceMetrics for the printer (see the print function in the Application walk-through). In previous versions, paint device metrics were valid only after the QPrinter has been set up, i.e. after setup() has returned successfully. This is no longer the case and paint device metrics can be requested safely before set up.
If you want to abort the print job, abort() will try its best to stop printing. It may cancel the entire job or just some of it.
Need a function to setup() without a dialog (i.e. use defaults).
If your current locale converts "," to ".", you will need to set a locale (via the standard C setlocale() function) that doen't do this before using QPrinter. The "C" locale works well for this.

TrueType font support. These functions allow PPR to generate PostScript fonts from Microsoft compatible TrueType font files.
The functions in this file do most of the work to convert a TrueType font to a type 3 PostScript font.
Most of the material in this file is derived from a program called "ttf2ps" which L. S. Ng posted to the usenet news group "comp.sources.postscript". The author did not provide a copyright notice or indicate any restrictions on use.

| enum QPrinter::ColorMode |
| enum QPrinter::ColorMode |
This enum type (not to be confused with Qt::Orientation) is used to specify each page's orientation.
Portrait the page's height is greater than its width (the default).
Landscape the page's width is greater than its height.
This type interacts with QPrinter::PageSize and QPrinter::setFullPage() to determine the final size of the page available to the application.
| enum QPrinter::PageOrder |
This enum type is used by QPrinter to tell the application program how to print.
FirstPageFirst the lowest-numbered page should be printed first.
LastPageFirst the highest-numbered page should be printed first.
| enum QPrinter::PageOrder |
| enum QPrinter::PageSize |
| enum QPrinter::PageSize |
This enum type specifies what paper size QPrinter should use. QPrinter does not check that the paper size is available; it just uses this information, together with QPrinter::Orientation and QPrinter::setFullPage(), to determine the printable area (see QPaintDeviceMetrics).
The defined sizes (with setFullPage(TRUE)) are:
A0 841 x 1189 mm This value is not supported on windows. A1 594 x 841 mm This value is not supported on windows. A2 420 x 594 mm A3 297 x 420 mm A4 210 x 297 mm, 8.26 x 11.7 inches A5 148 x 210 mm A6 105 x 148 mm A7 74 x 105 mm A8 52 x 74 mm A9 37 x 52 mm B0 1030 x 1456 mm B1 728 x 1030 mm B10 32 x 45 mm B2 515 x 728 mm B3 364 x 515 mm B4 257 x 364 mm B5 182 x 257 mm, 7.17 x 10.13 inches B6 128 x 182 mm B7 91 x 128 mm B8 64 x 91 mm B9 45 x 64 mm C5E 163 x 229 mm Comm10E 105 x 241 mm, US Common #10 Envelope DLE 110 x 220 mm Executive 7.5 x 10 inches, 191 x 254 mm Folio 210 x 330 mm Ledger 432 x 279 mm Legal 8.5 x 14 inches, 216 x 356 mm Letter 8.5 x 11 inches, 216 x 279 mm Tabloid 279 x 432 mm Custom NPageSize (internal)
With setFullPage(FALSE) (the default), the metrics will be a bit smaller; how much depends on the printer in use.
This enum type specifies what paper source QPrinter is to use. QPrinter does not check that the paper source is available; it just uses this information to try and set the paper source. Whether it will set the paper source depends on whether the printer has that particular source.
Note: this is currently only implemented for Windows.

This enum describes the mode the printer should work in. It basically presets a certain resolution and working mode.
ScreenResolution Sets the resolution of the print device to the screen resolution. This has the big advantage that the results obtained when painting on the printer will match more or less exactly the visible output on the screen. It is the easiest to use, as font metrics on the screen and on the printer are the same. This is the default value. ScreenResolution will produce a lower quality output than HighResolution and should only be used for drafts.
PrinterResolution Use the physical resolution of the printer on Windows. On Unix, set the postscript resolution to 72 dpi.
HighResolution Use printer resolution on windows, set the resolution of the postscript driver to 600dpi.
Compatible Almost the same as PrinterResolution, but keeps some peculiarities of the Qt 2.x printer driver. This is useful for applications ported from Qt 2.x to Qt 3.x.
This enum describes various printer options that appear in the printer setup dialog. It is used to enable and disable these options in the setup dialog.
PrintToFile Describes if print to file should be enabled. PrintSelection Describes if printing selections should be enabled. PrintPageRange Describes if printing page ranges (from, to) should be enabled
| enum QPrinter::PrintRange |
This enum is used to specify which print range the application should use to print.
AllPages All pages should be printed Selection Only the selection should be printed. PageRange From page, to page option.

| int QPrinter::fromPage | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the from-page setting. The default value is 0.
If fromPage() and toPage() both return 0 this signifies 'print the whole document'.
The programmer is responsible for reading this setting and printing accordingly.
| bool QPrinter::fullPage | ( | ) | const |
| bool QPrinter::fullPage | ( | ) | const |
Returns TRUE if the origin of the printer's coordinate system is at the corner of the sheet and FALSE if it is at the edge of the printable area.
See setFullPage() for details and caveats.
| bool QPrinter::isOptionEnabled | ( | PrinterOption | option | ) |
Returns TRUE if the printer option with identifier option is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE.
| bool QPrinter::isOptionEnabled | ( | PrinterOption | ) |

| QSize QPrinter::margins | ( | ) | const |
Returns the width of the left margin and the height of the top margin of the printer. On Unix, this is a best-effort guess, not based on perfect knowledge.
If you have called setFullPage( TRUE ), margins().width() may be treated as the smallest sane left margin you can use, and margins().height() as the smallest sane top margin you can use.
If you have called setFullPage( FALSE ) (this is the default), margins() is automatically subtracted from the pageSize() by QPrinter.
Esta es una función miembro sobrecargada que se suministra por conveniencia. Difiere de la anterior función solamente en los argumentos que acepta. Sets top, left, bottom and right to the margins of the printer. On Unix, this is a best-effort guess, not based on perfect knowledge.
If you have called setFullPage( TRUE ), the four values specify the smallest sane margins you can use.
If you have called setFullPage( FALSE ) (this is the default), the margins are automatically subtracted from the pageSize() by QPrinter.
| int QPrinter::maxPage | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the max-page setting. A user can't choose a higher page number than maxPage() when they select a print range. The default value is 0.

| int QPrinter::minPage | ( | ) | const |
| bool QPrinter::newPage | ( | ) |
Advances to a new page on the printer. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
| bool QPrinter::newPage | ( | ) |
| int QPrinter::numCopies | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the number of copies to be printed. The default value is 1.
This value will return the number of times the application is required to print in order to match the number specified in the printer setup dialog. This has been done since some printer drivers are not capable of buffering up the copies and the application in those cases have to make an explicit call to the print code for each copy.
| int QPrinter::numCopies | ( | ) | const |
| Orientation QPrinter::orientation | ( | ) | const |
| QPrinter::Orientation QPrinter::orientation | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the orientation setting. The default value is QPrinter::Portrait.
| QString QPrinter::outputFileName | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the name of the output file. There is no default file name.
| QString QPrinter::outputFileName | ( | ) | const |
| bool QPrinter::outputToFile | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns TRUE if the output should be written to a file, or FALSE if the output should be sent directly to the printer. The default setting is FALSE.
This function is currently only supported under X11 and Mac OS X.
| bool QPrinter::outputToFile | ( | ) | const |
| PageOrder QPrinter::pageOrder | ( | ) | const |
| QPrinter::PageOrder QPrinter::pageOrder | ( | ) | const |

Returns the currently set paper source of the printer.
| PaperSource QPrinter::paperSource | ( | ) | const |
| QString QPrinter::printerName | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the printer name. This value is initially set to the name of the default printer.
| QString QPrinter::printerName | ( | ) | const |
| QString QPrinter::printerSelectionOption | ( | ) | const |
| QString QPrinter::printerSelectionOption | ( | ) | const |
Returns the printer options selection string. This is useful only if the print command has been explicitly set.
The default value (a null string) implies that the printer should be selected in a system-dependent manner.
Any other value implies that the given value should be used.
| QString QPrinter::printProgram | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Returns the name of the program that sends the print output to the printer.
The default is to return a null string; meaning that QPrinter will try to be smart in a system-dependent way. On X11 only, you can set it to something different to use a specific print program.
On Windows, this function returns the name of the printer device driver.
| QString QPrinter::printProgram | ( | ) | const |
| QPrinter::PrintRange QPrinter::printRange | ( | ) | const |
Returns the PageRange of the QPrinter. After the print setup dialog has been opened, this function returns the value selected by the user.

| virtual void QPrinter::setDocName | ( | const QString & | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setDocName | ( | const QString & | name | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the document name to name.
Sets the from-page and to-page settings to fromPage and toPage respectively.
The from-page and to-page settings specify what pages to print.
If fromPage() and toPage() both return 0 this signifies 'print the whole document'.
This function is useful mostly to set a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
| void QPrinter::setFullPage | ( | bool | fp | ) | [virtual] |
Sets QPrinter to have the origin of the coordinate system at the top-left corner of the paper if fp is TRUE, or where it thinks the top-left corner of the printable area is if fp is FALSE.
The default is FALSE. You can (probably) print on (0,0), and QPaintDeviceMetrics will report something smaller than the size indicated by PageSize. (Note that QPrinter may be wrong on Unix systems - it does not have perfect knowledge of the physical printer.)
If you set fp to TRUE, QPaintDeviceMetrics will report the exact same size as indicated by PageSize, but you cannot print on all of that - you must take care of the output margins yourself.
| virtual void QPrinter::setFullPage | ( | bool | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the printer margins to the sizes specified in top, left, bottom and right.
This function currently only has an effect on Unix systems.
Sets the min-page and max-page settings to minPage and maxPage respectively.
The min-page and max-page restrict the from-page and to-page settings. When the printer setup dialog appears, the user cannot select a from page or a to page that are outside the range specified by min and max pages.
| void QPrinter::setNumCopies | ( | int | numCopies | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the number of copies to be printed to numCopies.
The printer driver reads this setting and prints the specified number of copies.
| virtual void QPrinter::setNumCopies | ( | int | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setOptionEnabled | ( | PrinterOption | , |
| bool | enable | ||
| ) |
| void QPrinter::setOptionEnabled | ( | PrinterOption | option, |
| bool | enable | ||
| ) |
Enables the printer option with the identifier option if enable is TRUE, and disables option option if enable is FALSE.
| void QPrinter::setOrientation | ( | Orientation | orientation | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the print orientation to orientation.
The orientation can be either QPrinter::Portrait or QPrinter::Landscape.
The printer driver reads this setting and prints using the specified orientation. On Windows this setting won't take effect until the printer dialog is shown (using QPrinter::setup()).
Windows only! This option can be changed while printing and will take effect from the next call to newPage()
| virtual void QPrinter::setOrientation | ( | Orientation | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setOutputFileName | ( | const QString & | fileName | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the name of the output file to fileName.
Setting a null or empty name (0 or "") disables output to a file, i.e. calls setOutputToFile(FALSE). Setting a non-empty name enables output to a file, i.e. calls setOutputToFile(TRUE).
This function is currently only supported under X11.
| virtual void QPrinter::setOutputFileName | ( | const QString & | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setOutputToFile | ( | bool | enable | ) | [virtual] |
Specifies whether the output should be written to a file or sent directly to the printer.
Will output to a file if enable is TRUE, or will output directly to the printer if enable is FALSE.
This function is currently only supported under X11 and Mac OS X.
| virtual void QPrinter::setOutputToFile | ( | bool | ) | [virtual] |
| virtual void QPrinter::setPageOrder | ( | PageOrder | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setPageOrder | ( | PageOrder | newPageOrder | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the page order to newPageOrder.
The page order can be QPrinter::FirstPageFirst or QPrinter::LastPageFirst. The application programmer is responsible for reading the page order and printing accordingly.
This function is useful mostly for setting a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
| void QPrinter::setPageSize | ( | PageSize | newPageSize | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the printer page size to newPageSize if that size is supported. The result if undefined if newPageSize is not supported.
The default page size is system-dependent.
This function is useful mostly for setting a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
| virtual void QPrinter::setPageSize | ( | PageSize | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setPaperSource | ( | PaperSource | source | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the paper source setting to source.
Windows only! This option can be changed while printing and will take effect from the next call to newPage()
| virtual void QPrinter::setPaperSource | ( | PaperSource | ) | [virtual] |
| virtual void QPrinter::setPrinterName | ( | const QString & | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setPrinterName | ( | const QString & | name | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the printer name to name.
The default printer will be used if no printer name is set.
Under X11, the PRINTER environment variable defines the default printer. Under any other window system, the window system defines the default printer.
| void QPrinter::setPrinterSelectionOption | ( | const QString & | option | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the printer to use option to select the printer. option is null by default (which implies that Qt should be smart enough to guess correctly), but it can be set to other values to use a specific printer selection option.
If the printer selection option is changed while the printer is active, the current print job may or may not be affected.
| virtual void QPrinter::setPrinterSelectionOption | ( | const QString & | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setPrintProgram | ( | const QString & | printProg | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the name of the program that should do the print job to printProg.
On X11, this function sets the program to call with the PostScript output. On other platforms, it has no effect.
| virtual void QPrinter::setPrintProgram | ( | const QString & | ) | [virtual] |
| void QPrinter::setPrintRange | ( | PrintRange | range | ) |
Sets the default selected page range to be used when the print setup dialog is opened to range. If the PageRange specified by range is currently disabled the function does nothing.
| void QPrinter::setPrintRange | ( | PrintRange | range | ) |
| void QPrinter::setResolution | ( | int | dpi | ) | [virtual] |
Requests that the printer prints at dpi or as near to dpi as possible.
This setting affects the coordinate system as returned by, for example, QPaintDeviceMetrics and QPainter::viewport().
The value depends on the PrintingMode used in the QPrinter constructor. By default, the dpi value of the screen is used.
This function must be called before setup() to have an effect on all platforms.
