I am attempting to print an image to a xerox printer in Qt. Using the following code I can print, however the image gets cut off to only the top 3rd of the page or so, when using HighResolution mode on the QPrinter. In ScreenResolution it works as expected, however the image is fairly low quality. Calling printer.setResolution() seems to have no effect on print quality whatsoever.
Strangely I can position text wherever I want in the QPainter and it will print just fine, it is specifically the image which gets cropped off. Also strange is that when I use a QPrintPreviewDialog all looks well, but the printed result is still cut off. Not sure where to go from here, I tried two different printers with the same issue.
FWIW I'm on Windows.
printer = QPrinter(QPrinter.HighResolution)
printer.setResolution(1200) # doesn't seem to do much
printer.setFullPage(True)
printer.setPageSize(QtGui.QPagedPaintDevice.Legal)
dialog = QPrintDialog(printer)
dialog.exec_()
im = QtGui.QImage('path/to/image')
im = im.scaledToWidth(printer.pageRect().width(), QtCore.Qt.SmoothTransformation)
painter = QtGui.QPainter()
painter.begin(printer)
painter.drawImage(0, 0, im)
painter.end()
