Hey that's pretty cool. Makes a little more now sense now how to get a 
QWebPage to render its output somewhere.

But it turns out this doesn't help. For fun I hooked up a real QWebView 
and have my HTML rendering into it properly. When I attach it to a 
QPrintPreviewDialog as before (connecting the paintRequested signal to 
the web view's print slot), I'm *still* getting zero pages of output in 
the preview.

Maybe I'm assuming too much. Does the QWebView/Page pass enough 
information to the printer so it knows how big the output should be and 
therefore how many pages it should be, or is that up to me?
