sorry for beeing a little unspecific I meant Page::renderToPainter method,
which is only implemented for Arthur backend, which is not usable.

agreed. 
Additional there are major differences between print and print preview. The
preview should not be rendered with the same resolution as the real print
because of the preview should not need more than a few seconds. 

Because Printing in okular is different from sceen drawing the solution on
windows is to tell QPrinter contructor which type of resolution it should use.
QPrinter constructor by default uses QPrinter::ScreenResolution (=96 dpi) 
which is used for generating previews. 

Calling QPrinter printer(QPrinter::PrintResolution) let it choose the
resolution from the printer driver first, overrideable by the print config
dialog, which is exactly what is required.
