select a printer question

[impeteperry]

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 8.10
I have a table written in Qt-4. (see attachment). I want to print the table part. I have a printer connected (Deskjet-5740). I am totally confused on how to start the printer module. (I had printed this type of program when I was using Qt-3.),

void PrintIndex::slotPb5()
{
	QStringList temp;
	QString path, k;
 
	int corner[17][2];
	int side, m, n, count, counter, base;
	double  a, b, x, y; 
	bool ret;
 
	QPrinter myprinter;	// = new QPrinter();
	myprinter.setPageSize( QPrinter::Legal );
	myprinter.setOrientation( QPrinter::Landscape );
	myprinter.setColorMode( QPrinter::Color );
	myprinter.setFullPage ( true );
	ret = myprinter.setup();
	if( ret == true )
	{
		QPainter p( &myprinter );

void PrintIndex::slotPb5()
{
	QStringList temp;
	QString path, k;

	int corner[17][2];
	int side, m, n, count, counter, base;
	double  a, b, x, y; 
	bool ret;

	QPrinter myprinter;	// = new QPrinter();
	myprinter.setPageSize( QPrinter::Legal );
	myprinter.setOrientation( QPrinter::Landscape );
	myprinter.setColorMode( QPrinter::Color );
	myprinter.setFullPage ( true );
	ret = myprinter.setup();
	if( ret == true )
	{
		QPainter p( &myprinter );

I would appreciate your help very much
Thank you

i am sorry but the "code" I showed before was the wrong one. This one works.

Well, Lo and Behold, I found a program that answered my question

void BaseForm::paintEvent ( QPaintEvent  * )
{
	QStringList temp;
	QString k;
 
	int xs, xe, ys, ye;
	int w, h;
	int width, height;
	int counter;
	QPainter p ( this );
	QPen pen;
	QFont f;
 
	if ( addressList.count() == 0 ) return;
	f.setFamily ( "MuktiNarrow" );
	f.setPointSize ( 10 );
	p.setFont ( f );
	pen.setBrush ( Qt::black );
	p.setPen ( pen );
	W = ui.frmLabelBoxes->width();
	H = ui.frmLabelBoxes->height();
 
	width = ( ( W-20 )-30 ) /3;
	height = ( H - 115 ) /8;
	counter = startCounter;
	if ( clearFlag == true ) return;
	for ( h = 0; h < 8; ++h )
	{
		for ( w = 0; w < 3; ++w )
		{
 
			k = addressList[counter++];
			if ( counter > addressList.count()-1 )  return;
			xs = 35 + w * ( 10 + width );
			ys = 30 + h * ( 10 + height );
			xe = width;
			ye = height;
			p.drawRect ( xs, ys, xe, ye );
			p.fillRect ( xs+1, ys+1, xe-1, ye-1, Qt::white );
			k = addressList[counter];
			temp = k.split ( "\n" );
			temp[0] = temp[0].remove( "*" );			/// remove the "*" beffore the name e xtenuion
			count = temp.count();
			for ( n = 0; n < count; ++n ) 	p.drawText ( xs + 5, ys + 13 * ( n + 1 ) , temp[n] );
			endCounter = counter;
		}
	}
	h = endCounter;
	return;
}

void BaseForm::paintEvent ( QPaintEvent  * )
{
	QStringList temp;
	QString k;

	int xs, xe, ys, ye;
	int w, h;
	int width, height;
	int counter;
	QPainter p ( this );
	QPen pen;
	QFont f;

	if ( addressList.count() == 0 ) return;
	f.setFamily ( "MuktiNarrow" );
	f.setPointSize ( 10 );
	p.setFont ( f );
	pen.setBrush ( Qt::black );
	p.setPen ( pen );
	W = ui.frmLabelBoxes->width();
	H = ui.frmLabelBoxes->height();

	width = ( ( W-20 )-30 ) /3;
	height = ( H - 115 ) /8;
	counter = startCounter;
	if ( clearFlag == true ) return;
	for ( h = 0; h < 8; ++h )
	{
		for ( w = 0; w < 3; ++w )
		{

			k = addressList[counter++];
			if ( counter > addressList.count()-1 )  return;
			xs = 35 + w * ( 10 + width );
			ys = 30 + h * ( 10 + height );
			xe = width;
			ye = height;
			p.drawRect ( xs, ys, xe, ye );
			p.fillRect ( xs+1, ys+1, xe-1, ye-1, Qt::white );
			k = addressList[counter];

	h = endCounter;
	return;

Guess where I found it.!!!
In a program I wrote last year. What ever you do, don't get old.
