Well, it's hard to help you without any further information.
- what qgis version? what platform?
- can you provide backtrace of the segfaults?
- have you tried to run the code from python console?

Executing the code in run() function should be fine.

I think you just need to use QPrinter instead of QImage for the
output. But I haven't tried it myself...
