so I have the following class which prints the text and header you call with it. I also provided the code I am using to call the Print function. I have a string 'outputstring' which contains the text I want to print. My expected output is below and my actual output is below. It seems to be removing spaces which are needed for proper legibility. How can I print while keeping the spaces?
Class:
#Printer Class
class Printer(HtmlEasyPrinting):
def __init__(self):
HtmlEasyPrinting.__init__(self)
def GetHtmlText(self,text):
"Simple conversion of text. Use a more powerful version"
html_text = text.replace('\n\n','<P>')
html_text = text.replace('\n', '<BR>')
return html_text
def Print(self, text, doc_name):
self.SetHeader(doc_name)
self.PrintText(self.GetHtmlText(text),doc_name)
def PreviewText(self, text, doc_name):
self.SetHeader(doc_name)
HtmlEasyPrinting.PreviewText(self, self.GetHtmlText(text))
Expected Print:
+-------------------+---------------------------------+------+-----------------+-----------+
| Domain: | Mail Server: | TLS: | # of Employees: | Verified: |

Actual Print:
The same thing as expected but the spaces are removed making it very hard to read.
Function call:
def printFile():
outputstring = txt_tableout.get(1.0, 'end')
print(outputstring)
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
p = Printer()
p.Print(outputstring, "Data Results")
For anyone else struggling, this is the modified class function I used to generate a nice table with all rows and columns.
def GetHtmlText(self,text):
html_text = '<h3>Data Results:</h3><p><table border="2">'
html_text += "<tr><td>Domain:</td><td>Mail Server:</td><td>TLS:</td><td># of Employees:</td><td>Verified</td></tr>"
for row in root.ptglobal.to_csv():
html_text += "<tr>"
for x in range(len(row)):
html_text += "<td>"+str(row[x])+"</td>"
html_text += "</tr>"
return html_text + "</table></p>"
