i was use QTextBrowser But when print it change style of page so i trying with qwebenginepage

QWebEnginePage *view = new QWebEnginePage;
QFile file("/home/hackerpoint/Desktop/some.html");
if(file.open(QIODevice::Text | QIODevice::ReadOnly)){
    QString html = file.readAll();
    QPrinter print(QPrinter::HighResolution);
    print.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
    print.setFullPage(true);
    print.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
    print.setOutputFileName("somefile.pdf");
    view->setHtml(html);
    if(&QWebEnginePage::loadFinished){
        view->print(&print , [=](bool){});
    }
    else {
        qInfo() << "Html Not loaded";
    }
}

and this the error

You are confusing concepts: loadFinished is a signal and doing if(&QWebEnginePage::loadFinished) does not make sense (I recommend you review the basic concepts of signals and slots since it is the basis of Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html).

On the other hand, it is not necessary to load the html as a file since you can pass it a url.

Considering the above, the following code is a trivial example of how to print:

#include <QtWebEngineWidgets>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QWebEnginePage page;
    QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
    printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
    printer.setFullPage(true);
    printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
    printer.setOutputFileName("somefile.pdf");
    QObject::connect(&page, &QWebEnginePage::loadFinished, [&page, &printer](bool ok){
        if(ok){
            page.print(&printer, [](bool ok){
                qDebug() << "printed " << ok;
                QCoreApplication::quit();
            });
        }
        else{
            qDebug() << "Html Not loaded";
            QCoreApplication::exit(-1);
        }
    });
    page.load(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/hackerpoint/Desktop/some.html"));
    return a.exec();
}

UPDATE:

Printer class

#ifndef PRINTER_H
#define PRINTER_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QPrinter>
#include <QWebEnginePage>

class Printer: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    enum PrinterError{
        NoError = 0,
        LoadError,
        PrintError
    };
    Q_ENUM(PrinterError);
    Printer(QObject *parent=nullptr);
public Q_SLOTS:
    void print(const QString & html, const QUrl &baseUrl=QUrl());
    void print(const QUrl & url);
Q_SIGNALS:
    void finished();
    void error(PrinterError error);
private Q_SLOTS:
    void onFinished(bool ok);

};

#endif // PRINTER_H

#include "printer.h"

Printer::Printer(QObject *parent):QObject(parent)
{
    printer.setResolution(QPrinter::HighResolution);
    printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);

    printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
    printer.setOutputFileName("somefile.pdf");
    connect(&page, &QWebEnginePage::loadFinished, this, &Printer::onFinished);
}

void Printer::print(const QString &html, const QUrl & baseUrl)
{
    page.setHtml(html, baseUrl);
}

void Printer::print(const QUrl &url)
{
    page.load(url);
}

void Printer::onFinished(bool ok)
{
    if(ok){
        page.print(&printer, [this](bool ok){
            if(ok)
                Q_EMIT finished();
            else
                Q_EMIT error(PrintError);
        });
    }
    else
        Q_EMIT error(LoadError);
}

MainWindow class:

// ...

    void on_pushButton_clicked();
    void printError(Printer::PrinterError error);
    void printFinished();

// ...
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    printer.print(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/hackerpoint/Desktop/some.html"));
}

void MainWindow::printError(Printer::PrinterError error)
{
  if(error == Printer::LoadError){
      qDebug() << "Html Not loaded";
  }
  else if(error == Printer::PrintError){
      qDebug() << "Html Not printed";
  }
}

void MainWindow::printFinished()
{
    qDebug() << "printed";
}
