hi guys,
I have made a printing program. It runs well for some printers , but when i tried with EPson Lx-300+ (dot matrix printer) , I found that the character spacing was condensed. It was hard to read the printout. Could you give me a suggestion for this. I have tried this on Windows XP SP 2 with LX300+ driver provided by Microsoft. I used QT 4.3.2 win opensource , mingw ver.5.1.3 as compiler . or Is this a bug of QT?
please someone help me
thanks

What happens when you print something with some other software?
Qt doesn't control the printer directly. Perhaps there's a problem with the DPI reported by the printer driver, and the print gets scaled?
When i print some thing with other software it is not problem, like Acrobat Reader,Ms Word,Excel. My problem is the same like printing program( TextPrinter ver. 1.0) in www.qt-apps.org, when it was used in Lx-300+ (new dot matrix Printer from Epson) . I also changed set resolution (dpi) (Qprinter::set resolution() ) in my source code program but the problem still remains.

Hi avb2!
I've the same problem with you. I'm sorry for not helping. have you solved that?
I already tried to print to lx300+II and it printed fine. I don't know what's the problem with this 300+. Just FYI if i set the paper to landscape it works okay.
Now I'm trying to find another solution. I try to print to pdf and use ghostscript to epson but still no luck. I can't set page to A5. I use -sPAPERSIZE=a5 but the printer rolls the paper like letter size.
I'll post if i come up with something.
thanks,
Hardi
i have the same problem but it's with a epson fx 890 and it's under windows too. i don't have it with others laser printers like HP.
i use qt 4.5 beta 1
:rolleyes: Have anybody found solution for this..? I've the same problem on EPSON LX-300, AND some other type of dot matrix printers.
Is this bug in Qt?
The printer out put show normal only on ink or laser printers..
Has anyone found the solution to the above mentioned problem?Quote:
