It could be a solution.  It wouldn't be ideal, because really we want to 
send a document with fonts and text to the printer, rather than just an 
image (you can do this with QPrinter/QPainter, as far as I can tell, 
but the external libraries don't have any way of providing the 
necessary information to do so).
