QPrintPreviewDialog printing just one page of multiple pages.

[kea_]

Hello together,

I like to print one page of multiple pages. But the printer allways prints all pages.
What I'm doing wrong?

Please have a look at the source.

void CPrintWorkout::print(){
QPrinter printer(QPrinter::ScreenResolution);
printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
printer.setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);

QPrintPreviewDialog preview(&printer);
connect(&preview, SIGNAL(paintRequested(QPrinter*)), SLOT(print(QPrinter*)));
preview.exec();
}


// ** SLOTS **

void CPrintWorkout::print(QPrinter *printer){
printer->setPageOrder(QPrinter::FirstPageFirst);

QPainter painter;
painter.begin(printer);

QTextDocument doc;
doc.setTextWidth(printer->pageRect().width());

for(int i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
doc.setHtml(QString::number(i) + ". Page");
doc.drawContents(&painter);

if(i < 3) printer->newPage();
}

painter.end();
}


Thank you very much.

Hi
I have the same problem. Did you fix it?

If you do not want all the pages in the output then do not render all the pages in the slot you attach to paintRequested(). If the user has opted to print only a range of pages, for example, then the QPrinter object will return that range through QPrinter::printRange(), QPrinter::fromPage() and QPrinter::toPage(). Only render the requested pages.
