    \title Changes to Qt Print Support
    \ingroup changes-qt-5-to-6
    \brief Migrate Qt Print Support to Qt 6.

    Qt 6 is a result of the conscious effort to make the framework more
    efficient and easy to use.

    We try to maintain binary and source compatibility for all the public
    APIs in each release. But some changes were inevitable in an effort to
    make Qt a better framework.

    In this topic we summarize those changes in Qt Print Support, and provide
    guidance to handle them.

    \section1 General API consolidation

    The various enums and types for \l{QPageSize}{page sizes},
    margins, and orientation have been consolidated. QPrinter APIs to set
    paper sizes and margins explicitly have been removed; use
    QPagedPaintDevice::setPageLayout(), QPagedPaintDevice::setPageSize(),
    QPagedPaintDevice::setPageOrientation(), and
    QPagedPaintDevice::setPageMargins() instead.
