[PyQt] QPrintDialog (pyqt4)

[jaybstory]

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.
