The mission

Print Hello World on your printer. There will be no more dialog to confirm how many pages you want or the like.

The code

main.cpp

#include <qpainter.h>
#include <qprinter.h>
#include <kapplication.h>
#include <kaboutdata.h>
#include <kmessagebox.h>
#include <kcmdlineargs.h>

/*
This prints Hello World on your printer
*/

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    KAboutData aboutData(
                         // The program name used internally.
                         "tutorial-printing",
                         // The message catalog name
                         // If null, program name is used instead.
                         0,
                         // A displayable program name string.
                         ki18n("Printing Tutorial"),
                         // The program version string.
                         "1.0",
                         // Short description of what the app does.
                         ki18n("Displays a KMessageBox popup"),

                         // Optional text shown in the About box.
                         // Can contain any information desired.
                         ki18n("Some text..."),
                         // The program homepage string.
                         "http://example.com/",
                         // The bug report email address
                         "[email protected]");
    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
}
