>From the docs:

QPainter::QPainter(QPaintDevice * device)
Constructs a painter that begins painting the paint device immediately.

>         painter=QtGui.QPainter(printer)

So you're calling begin again here.

>         painter.begin(printer)

So take your own begin() call out.

As a side note, QPainter can actually be used as a context manager so you
could do:

with QPainter(printer) as painter:
     code with painter

and it will handle being()/end() for you as needed
