.SH "QPrinter::PrinterMode"
This enum describes the mode the printer should work in. It basically presets a certain resolution and working mode.
.TP
\fCQPrinter::ScreenResolution\fR - 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.
.TP
\fCQPrinter::PrinterResolution\fR - Use the physical resolution of the printer on Windows. On Unix, set the postscript resolution to 72 dpi.
.TP
\fCQPrinter::HighResolution\fR - Use printer resolution on windows, set the resolution of the postscript driver to 600dpi.
.TP
\fCQPrinter::Compatible\fR - 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.
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "QPrinter::QPrinter ( PrinterMode m = ScreenResolution )"
Constructs a printer paint device with mode \fIm\fR.
.PP
See also QPrinter::PrinterMode.
.SH "QPrinter::~QPrinter ()"
Destroys the printer paint device and cleans up.
.SH "bool QPrinter::abort ()"
Aborts the print job. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
.PP
See also aborted().
.SH "bool QPrinter::aborted () const"
Returns TRUE is the printer job was aborted; otherwise returns FALSE.
.PP
See also abort().
.SH "ColorMode QPrinter::colorMode () const"
Returns the current color mode. The default color mode is Color.
.PP
See also setColorMode().
.SH "QString QPrinter::creator () const"
Returns the name of the application that created the document.
.PP
See also setCreator().
.SH "QString QPrinter::docName () const"
Returns the document name.
.PP
See also setDocName().
.SH "int QPrinter::fromPage () const"
Returns the from-page setting. The default value is 0.
.PP
If fromPage() and toPage() both return 0 this signifies 'print the whole document'.
.PP
The programmer is responsible for reading this setting and printing accordingly.
.PP
See also setFromTo() and toPage().
.SH "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.
.PP
See setFullPage() for details and caveats.
.PP
See also setFullPage(), PageSize, and QPaintDeviceMetrics.
.SH "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.
.PP
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.
.PP
If you have called setFullPage( FALSE ) (this is the default), margins() is automatically subtracted from the pageSize() by QPrinter.
.PP
See also setFullPage(), QPaintDeviceMetrics, and PageSize.
.SH "void QPrinter::margins ( uint * top, uint * left, uint * bottom, uint * right ) const"
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
.PP
Sets \fItop\fR, \fIleft\fR, \fIbottom\fR and \fIright\fR to the margins of the printer. On Unix, this is a best-effort guess, not based on perfect knowledge.
.PP
If you have called setFullPage( TRUE ), the four values specify the smallest sane margins you can use.
.PP
If you have called setFullPage( FALSE ) (this is the default), the margins are automatically subtracted from the pageSize() by QPrinter.
.PP
See also setFullPage(), QPaintDeviceMetrics, and PageSize.
.SH "int QPrinter::maxPage () const"
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.
.PP
See also minPage(), setMinMax(), and setFromTo().
.SH "int QPrinter::minPage () const"
Returns the min-page setting, i.e. the lowest page number a user is allowed to choose. The default value is 0.
.PP
See also maxPage(), setMinMax(), and setFromTo().
.SH "bool QPrinter::newPage ()"
Advances to a new page on the printer. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
.PP
Examples:
.)l action/application.cpp, application/application.cpp, helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp, and mdi/application.cpp.
.SH "int QPrinter::numCopies () const"
Returns the number of copies to be printed. The default value is 1.
.PP
After a call to setup(), 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.
.PP
See also setNumCopies().
.SH "Orientation QPrinter::orientation () const"
Returns the orientation setting. The default value is QPrinter::Portrait.
.PP
See also setOrientation().
.SH "QString QPrinter::outputFileName () const"
Returns the name of the output file. There is no default file name.
.PP
See also setOutputFileName() and setOutputToFile().
.SH "bool QPrinter::outputToFile () const"
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.
.PP
This function is currently only supported under X11.
.PP
See also setOutputToFile() and setOutputFileName().
.SH "PageOrder QPrinter::pageOrder () const"
Returns the current page order.
.PP
The default page order is FirstPageFirst.
.SH "PageSize QPrinter::pageSize () const"
Returns the printer page size. The default value is system-dependent.
.PP
See also setPageSize().
.SH "PaperSource QPrinter::paperSource () const"
Returns the currently set paper source of the printer.
.PP
See also setPaperSource().
.SH "QString QPrinter::printProgram () const"
Returns the name of the program that sends the print output to the printer.
.PP
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.
.PP
On Windows, this function returns the name of the printer device driver.
.PP
See also setPrintProgram() and setPrinterSelectionOption().
.SH "QString QPrinter::printerName () const"
Returns the printer name. This value is initially set to the name of the default printer.
.PP
See also setPrinterName().
.SH "QString QPrinter::printerSelectionOption () const"
Returns the printer options selection string. This is useful only if the print command has been explicitly set.
.PP
The default value (a null string) implies that the printer should be selected in a system-dependent manner.
.PP
Any other value implies that the given value should be used.
.PP
See also setPrinterSelectionOption().
.SH "int QPrinter::resolution () const\fC [virtual]\fR"
Returns the current assumed resolution of the printer, as set by setResolution() or by the printer subsystem.
.PP
See also setResolution().
.SH "void QPrinter::setColorMode ( ColorMode newColorMode )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the printer's color mode to \fInewColorMode\fR, which can be either Color or GrayScale (the default).
.PP
See also colorMode().
.SH "void QPrinter::setCreator ( const QString & creator )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the name of the application that created the document to \fIcreator\fR.
.PP
This function is only applicable to the X11 version of Qt. If no creator name is specified, the creator will be set to "Qt" followed by some version number.
.PP
See also creator().
.SH "void QPrinter::setDocName ( const QString & name )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the document name to \fIname\fR.
.SH "void QPrinter::setFromTo ( int fromPage, int toPage )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the from-page and to-page settings to \fIfromPage\fR and \fItoPage\fR respectively.
.PP
The from-page and to-page settings specify what pages to print.
.PP
If fromPage() and toPage() both return 0 this signifies 'print the whole document'.
.PP
This function is useful mostly to set a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
.PP
See also fromPage(), toPage(), setMinMax(), and setup().
.SH "void QPrinter::setFullPage ( bool fp )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets QPrinter to have the origin of the coordinate system at the top-left corner of the paper if \fIfp\fR is TRUE, or where it thinks the top-left corner of the printable area is if \fIfp\fR is FALSE.
.PP
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.)
.PP
If you set \fIfp\fR 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.
.PP
See also PageSize, setPageSize(), QPaintDeviceMetrics, and fullPage().
.PP
Example: helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp.
.SH "void QPrinter::setMargins ( uint top, uint left, uint bottom, uint right )"
Sets the printer margins to the sizes specified in \fItop\fR, \fIleft\fR, \fIbottom\fR and \fIright\fR.
.PP
This function currently only has an effect on Unix systems.
.PP
See also margins().
.SH "void QPrinter::setMinMax ( int minPage, int maxPage )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the min-page and max-page settings to \fIminPage\fR and \fImaxPage\fR respectively.
.PP
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.
.PP
See also minPage(), maxPage(), setFromTo(), and setup().
.SH "void QPrinter::setNumCopies ( int numCopies )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the number of pages to be printed to \fInumCopies\fR.
.PP
The printer driver reads this setting and prints the specified number of copies.
.PP
See also numCopies() and setup().
.SH "void QPrinter::setOrientation ( Orientation orientation )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the print orientation to \fIorientation\fR.
.PP
The orientation can be either QPrinter::Portrait or QPrinter::Landscape.
.PP
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()).
.PP
See also orientation().
.SH "void QPrinter::setOutputFileName ( const QString & fileName )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the name of the output file to \fIfileName\fR.
.PP
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).
.PP
This function is currently only supported under X11.
.PP
See also outputFileName() and setOutputToFile().
.SH "void QPrinter::setOutputToFile ( bool enable )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Specifies whether the output should be written to a file or sent directly to the printer.
.PP
Will output to a file if \fIenable\fR is TRUE, or will output directly to the printer if \fIenable\fR is FALSE.
.PP
This function is currently only supported under X11.
.PP
See also outputToFile() and setOutputFileName().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPageOrder ( PageOrder newPageOrder )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the page order to \fInewPageOrder\fR.
.PP
The page order can be QPrinter::FirstPageFirst or QPrinter::LastPageFirst. The application programmer is responsible for reading the page order and printing accordingly.
.PP
This function is useful mostly for setting a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPageSize ( PageSize newPageSize )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the printer page size to \fInewPageSize\fR if that size is supported. The result if undefined if \fInewPageSize\fR is not supported.
.PP
The default page size is system-dependent.
.PP
This function is useful mostly for setting a default value that the user can override in the print dialog when you call setup().
.PP
See also pageSize(), PageSize, setFullPage(), and setResolution().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPaperSource ( PaperSource source )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the paper source setting to \fIsource\fR.
.PP
See also paperSource().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPrintProgram ( const QString & printProg )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the name of the program that should do the print job to \fIprintProg\fR.
.PP
On X11, this function sets the program to call with the PostScript output. On other platforms, it has no effect.
.PP
See also printProgram().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPrinterName ( const QString & name )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the printer name to \fIname\fR.
.PP
The default printer will be used if no printer name is set.
.PP
Under X11, the \fCPRINTER\fR environment variable defines the default printer. Under any other window system, the window system defines the default printer.
.PP
See also printerName().
.SH "void QPrinter::setPrinterSelectionOption ( const QString & option )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the printer to use \fIoption\fR to select the printer. \fIoption\fR 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.
.PP
If the printer selection option is changed while the printer is active, the current print job may or may not be affected.
.PP
See also printerSelectionOption().
.SH "void QPrinter::setResolution ( int dpi )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Requests that the printer prints at \fIdpi\fR or as near to \fIdpi\fR as possible.
.PP
This setting affects the coordinate system as returned by, for example, QPaintDeviceMetrics and QPainter::viewport().
.PP
The value depends on the \fCPrintingMode\fR used in the QPrinter constructor. By default, the dpi value of the screen is used.
.PP
This function must be called before setup() to have an effect on all platforms.
.PP
See also resolution() and setPageSize().
.SH "bool QPrinter::setup ( QWidget * parent = 0 )"
Opens a printer setup dialog, with parent \fIparent\fR, and asks the user to specify which printer they wish to use and what settings it should have.
.PP
Returns TRUE if the user pressed "OK" to print, or FALSE if the user cancelled the operation.
.PP
Examples:
.)l action/application.cpp, application/application.cpp, drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp, helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp, and mdi/application.cpp.
.SH "int QPrinter::toPage () const"
Returns the to-page setting. The default value is 0.
.PP
If fromPage() and toPage() both return 0 this signifies 'print the whole document'.
.PP
The programmer is responsible for reading this setting and printing accordingly.
.PP
See also setFromTo() and fromPage().
.SH "short QPrinter::winPageSize () const"
Returns the Windows page size value as used by the \fCDEVMODE\fR struct (Windows only). Using this function is not portable.
.PP
Use pageSize() to get the PageSize, e.g. 'A4', 'Letter', etc.
