[PyQt] Printing a widget

[Jason H]

Check labs.trolltech.com They recently (since 4.5's release) had an article about improving rendering on higher DPI screens. Me thinks this would give you clues.

> Are you accounting for the higher DPI of printers (300, 600) vs that of the screen (72 or 90)? You'll need to scale accordingly.

I am not; thank you.  Now for a follow-up question: is there any way to programmatically discover the DPI of the screen?  QPrinter has a .resolution() which I'm assuming will give me the necessary DPI, but I don't know where I'd look in PyQt to find the screen DPI.

Once again, thanks for the answer to my question -- I hope you'll indulge another.  :)
