You can do something like this if it is a function of your MainWindow.
self as a argument in grabWidget is your baseWidget, like a QMainWindow
for example. No doubt you would have to make sure it fits on the page
though and resize it as needed.
def goPrinter(self):
printer=QtGui.QPrinter()
dialog = QtGui.QPrintDialog(printer, self)
if(dialog.exec_() != QtGui.QDialog.Accepted):
return
p=QtGui.QPixmap.grabWidget(self)
printLabel = QtGui.QLabel()
printLabel.setPixmap(p)
painter = QtGui.QPainter(printer)
printLabel.render(painter)
painter.end()

I understand your example for printing Labels. I'm wondering if there is a
way to just print the entire GUI? I tried to do this, but its not correct:
def printd(self):
printer=QtGui.QPrinter()
dialog = QtGui.QPrintDialog(printer, self)
if(dialog.exec_() != QtGui.QDialog.Accepted):
return
printGUI = QtGui.QTabWidget
painter = QtGui.QPainter(printer)
printGUI.render(painter)
painter.end()
maybe I'm not understanding the way render works? Or is this the wrong
approach all together? Thank you.

thank you for the reply,
do you have an example of how to use QPrinter in python?
I didn't have one, but I just made one really quick. Very simple
example. I Cc'd the list in case anyone else had anything to add.
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, app):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
self.app=app
self.label=QtGui.QLabel("Print test")
self.setCentralWidget(self.label)
def goPrinter(self):
printer=QtGui.QPrinter()
dialog = QtGui.QPrintDialog(printer, self)
if(dialog.exec_() != QtGui.QDialog.Accepted):
return
printLabel = QtGui.QLabel("Hello my printer.")
painter = QtGui.QPainter(printer)
printLabel.render(painter)
painter.end()
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window=MainWindow(app)
window.show()
QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(1000, window.goPrinter)
#ui.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
