Printing via QPrinter doesnt work

[mSergey]

I'm trying to print some plain text in my small console application (which is listed below), but it doesnt work properly. When application starts, I see this error message:

QPainter::begin(): Returned false

... and then nothing happens.

I didn't find any useful with Google unhappy

I'm using Qt 4.3.3 under Windows XP SP2

Standard "Rich Text/Order Form" example prints documents finely, but I don't know why it doesnt work in my program.

Wherein can be the problem?

Thanks.

Source:

#include <QCoreApplication>
 
#include <QPainter>
#include <QPrinter>
#include <QTextDocument>
#include <QTimer>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
 
  QPrinter printer;
  QPainter painter(&printer);
 
  QTextDocument textDocument;
  textDocument.setPlainText(QString("some text"));
  textDocument.print(&printer);
 
  QTimer::singleShot(0, &app, SLOT(quit()));
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QCoreApplication>

#include <QPainter>
#include <QPrinter>
#include <QTextDocument>
#include <QTimer>

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

  QPrinter printer;
  QPainter painter(&printer);

  QTextDocument textDocument;
  textDocument.setPlainText(QString("some text"));
  textDocument.print(&printer);

  QTimer::singleShot(0, &app, SLOT(quit()));
  return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Use QApplication instead of QCoreApplication.
