[Qt-interest] Printing (tables) with Qt4

[Manuel Argüelles]

Hello List,

I'm relative new to qt and so far it has been a nice experience, however I'm 
having some problems with printing.

I followed the guide about printing 
(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/printing.html) and I understand how to set up 
the printer (QPrinter) and settings with QPrintDialog. Also 
QPrintPreviewDialog seems easy too (haven't tried it yet).

My problem is that I have a big QTableView that I need to print, I tried to 
use the render method but it placed a really small image of the table with the 
scroll bars, I tried to set the QRegion to pageRect() but it almost crashed my 
pc (everything got really slow and I had to terminate it)

How can I print a table with headers and grid, and how can I tell when it is 
time to call newPage()?

I read somewhere that I must write to the QPainter directly, this means using 
the drawText method right? but then I'll have to give the coordinates for 
every text, and how can I know how much did it take? I also read about using a 
QTextDocument but I haven't read much about it. I also read about using html, 
but the same applies....

Could someone please give me any hits or point me to some urls with example 
about this?
