Detailed DescriptionThe QPrintEngine class defines an interface for how QPrinter interacts with a given printing subsystem. The common case when creating your own print engine is to derive from both QPaintEngine and QPrintEngine. Various properties of a print engine are given with property() and set with setProperty(). See also QPaintEngine. Member Type Documentation

| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QPrintEngine::PPK_CollateCopies | 0 | A boolean value indicating whether the printout should be collated or not. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_ColorMode | 1 | Refers to QPrinter::ColorMode, either color or monochrome. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_Creator | 2 | A string describing the document's creator. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_Duplex | 21 | A boolean value indicating whether both sides of the printer paper should be used for the printout. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_DocumentName | 3 | A string describing the document name in the spooler. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_FontEmbedding | 19 | A boolean value indicating whether data for the document's fonts should be embedded in the data sent to the printer. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_FullPage | 4 | A boolean describing if the printer should be full page or not. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_NumberOfCopies | 5 | Obsolete. An integer specifying the number of copies. Use PPK_CopyCount instead. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_Orientation | 6 | Specifies a QPrinter::Orientation value. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_OutputFileName | 7 | The output file name as a string. An empty file name indicates that the printer should not print to a file. |

| QPrintEngine::PPK_PaperSource | 12 | Specifies a QPrinter::PaperSource value. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_PaperSources | 22 | Specifies more than one QPrinter::PaperSource value. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_PaperSize | PPK_PageSize | Specifies a QPrinter::PaperSize value. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_PrinterName | 13 | A string specifying the name of the printer. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_PrinterProgram | 14 | A string specifying the name of the printer program used for printing, |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_Resolution | 15 | An integer describing the dots per inch for this printer. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_SelectionOption | 16 | |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_SupportedResolutions | 17 | A list of integer QVariants describing the set of supported resolutions that the printer has. |
| QPrintEngine::PPK_SuppressSystemPrintStatus | 20 | Suppress the built-in dialog for showing printing progress. As of 4.1 this only has effect on Mac OS X where, by default, a status dialog is shown. |
