QTableView printing

[derrickbj]

Greetings!

I'm trying to print the contents of a QTableView to the printer (this is my first QT program sending anything to the printer). I didn't know if there was a way as easy as QTextEdit->document()->print(&printer). The closeest I could find was implementing something similar to what I saw in Qt's Pixelator example, but all this seems to do for me is spit out an empty sheet of paper:

Note: 'model' is previously defined as QAbstractItemModel *model

QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
 
        QPrintDialog *dlg = new QPrintDialog(&printer, this);
        dlg->setWindowTitle(tr("Print Table"));
 
        if (dlg->exec() != QDialog::Accepted)
            return;
 
        QPainter painter;
        painter.begin(&printer);
 
        int rows = model->rowCount(QModelIndex());
        int columns = model->columnCount(QModelIndex());
 
        double xscale = printer.pageRect().width();
        double yscale = printer.pageRect().height();
        double scale = qMin(xscale, yscale);
 
        painter.translate(printer.paperRect().x() + printer.pageRect().width()/2,
                          printer.paperRect().y() + printer.pageRect().height()/2);
        painter.scale(scale, scale);
        QModelIndex parent = QModelIndex();
        painter.save();
        QStyleOptionViewItem option;
 
        const int ItemSize = 256;
        float x = ItemSize /2;
         for (int printRow = 0; printRow < rows; ++printRow) {
            float y = ItemSize /2;
            for (int column = 0; column < columns; ++column) {
               option.rect = QRect(int(x), int(y), ItemSize, ItemSize);
               myTableView->itemDelegate()->paint(&painter, option, model->index(printRow, column, parent));
                x = x + 256;
            }
            y = y + 256;
        }
        painter.restore();
        painter.end();

QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);

        QPrintDialog *dlg = new QPrintDialog(&printer, this);
        dlg->setWindowTitle(tr("Print Table"));

        if (dlg->exec() != QDialog::Accepted)
            return;

        QPainter painter;
        painter.begin(&printer);

        int rows = model->rowCount(QModelIndex());
        int columns = model->columnCount(QModelIndex());
   
        double xscale = printer.pageRect().width();
        double yscale = printer.pageRect().height();
        double scale = qMin(xscale, yscale);
       
        painter.translate(printer.paperRect().x() + printer.pageRect().width()/2,
                          printer.paperRect().y() + printer.pageRect().height()/2);
        painter.scale(scale, scale);
        QModelIndex parent = QModelIndex();
        painter.save();
        QStyleOptionViewItem option;
       
        const int ItemSize = 256;
        float x = ItemSize /2;
         for (int printRow = 0; printRow < rows; ++printRow) {
            float y = ItemSize /2;
            for (int column = 0; column < columns; ++column) {
               option.rect = QRect(int(x), int(y), ItemSize, ItemSize);
               myTableView->itemDelegate()->paint(&painter, option, model->index(printRow, column, parent));
                x = x + 256;
            }
            y = y + 256;
        }
        painter.restore();
        painter.end();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I can think of is creating a QTextDocument() and feeding it the QTableView in HTML format and then printing that.

Thanks,
