Bug 29859 – [Qt] Emiting a signal for each page being printed

• Component: Printing
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-3568
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-3568

--- Description ---

It would be nice if QtWebkit would emit a signal of each page being printed. This can be used both for user feedback, and for inserting headers and footers. A good name for this signal should obviously be invented. I have included a patch, that I use currently.
