Q3Canvas Printing Problem on Windows XP, but OK on Solaris

[philw]

On Windows, Q3Canvas Printing to a PDF file or to an actual printer is not working. Canvas items are printed with reasonable font sizes, but the positions are very broken -- all overlapping in the top-left corner. It looks to be a scaling problem -- the relative positions of text (relative to each other) seem to be correct. On Solaris though, printing is working properly.

Simplified code snippet (similar results):

QPrinter printer (QPrinter::HighResolution);
QPrintDialog printDlg (&printer, this);
const int userResp = printDlg.exec();
if (userResp != QDialog::Rejected)
{
   QPainter pPainter (&printer);
   Q3Canvas* actQCanvas = _activeCanvas->canvas();
   QRect actQCanvasRect = actQCanvas->rect();
   actQCanvas->drawArea (actQCanvasRect, &pPainter, false);
}

QPrinter printer (QPrinter::HighResolution);
QPrintDialog printDlg (&printer, this);
const int userResp = printDlg.exec();
if (userResp != QDialog::Rejected)
{
   QPainter pPainter (&printer);
   Q3Canvas* actQCanvas = _activeCanvas->canvas();
   QRect actQCanvasRect = actQCanvas->rect();
   actQCanvas->drawArea (actQCanvasRect, &pPainter, false);
}
