Hi!
Thank you so far, but now I got stuck again :-/

This is what I have so far:
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
printer = QPrinter(QPrinter.PrinterResolution)
if printer.setup():
printer.setPageSize(printer.A4)
painter = QPainter(printer)
metrics = QPaintDeviceMetrics(painter.device())
marginHeight = 6
marginWidth = 8
body = QRect(marginWidth, marginHeight, metrics.widthMM() - 2 *
marginWidth, metrics.heightMM() - 2 * marginHeight)
painter.drawRect(body)
painter.end()
Doing so I hoped to get a rectangle which is as big as an A4 paper (with
a small border), but unfortunately it is much smaller. Moreover, I ask
myself whether it is necessary that in order to write text on the paper,
I always have to pass the proper x, y values to QPainter.drawText().
Isn't there any other possibility? How do I get these values?
Thanks in advance,
Fabian Steiner
