QPainter does not print html file as expected, ideas workarounds?

You couldn't search for "print" in the manual?

QPrinter *printer;
// set up printer
 
QWebView v;
v.setHtml(html);
v.show();
v.print(printer);
 
// or without the view widget
QWebPage page;
page.mainFrame()->setHtml(html);
page.mainFrame()->print(printer);

QPrinter *printer;
// set up printer

QWebView v;
v.setHtml(html);
v.show();
v.print(printer);

// or without the view widget
QWebPage page;
page.mainFrame()->setHtml(html);
page.mainFrame()->print(printer);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

QTextDocument has a limited range of allowable HTML and does not cater for the huge range of malformed HTML in the wild. The browser components do, but they are much heavier components.

Right, QWebPage could handle that monstruosity pretty well, thanks a lot!
