You need a KDE instance to print, because this instance stores your configuration, including your printer configuration. You create one by instanciating the KApplication class.

The mission

Print Hello World on your printer.

The code

  1. include <qpainter.h>
  2. include <qprinter.h>
  3. include <kapplication.h>
  4. include <kaboutdata.h>
  5. include <kmessagebox.h>
  6. include <kcmdlineargs.h>

/* This prints Hello World on your printer

  • /

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { 

   KAboutData aboutData( "test", "test", "1.0", "test",
                         KAboutData::License_GPL, "(c) 2006" );
   KCmdLineArgs::init( argc, argv, &aboutData );
   KApplication app;

   QPrinter printer;
   printer.setFullPage(true);
   QPainter painter;
   painter.begin(&printer);
   painter.drawText(100,100,"Hello World");
   painter.end(); 
   // this makes the print job start

}
