[PyQt] Printing in PyQt

[primalcharlie]

Hi Im hoping to print a whole screen and as a separate print a widget:
However I have no clue as to how to do it. I know that I need to do a paint
and paint to the printer and get the details using a QPrintDialog however
past that point my knowledge is limited. I found the following on the
internet in the pyqt docs but it isn't working

def printViewCustomer(self):
        printer=QtPrintSupport.QPrinter()
        dialog=QtPrintSupport.QPrintDialog(printer,self)
        if (dialog.exec_()!=QtWidgets.QDialog.Accepted):
            return
        printWidget=self.mainViewWidget
        painter=QtGui.QPainter(printer)
        painter.begin(printer)
        print(printer.paperRect().x())
        XScale=(printer.pageRect().width()/ (printWidget.width()))
        YScale=(printer.pageRect().height()/(printWidget.height()))
        Scale=(min(XScale,YScale))
        painter.translate((printer.paperRect().x()) +
(printer.pageRect().width()/2),(printer.paperRect().y) +
(printer.pageRect().height()/2))
        painter.scale(Scale,Scale)
       
painter.translate(-1*printWidget.width()/2,-1*printWidget.height()/2)
        printWidget.render(painter)
        painter.end()
