Thanks Matt, for the advice. I followed your links, and found the
best way, for me at least, to print what I wanted was to create a view
in IB, populate a custom view with text fields and tables, and then
resize that view for printing.
For those who are working on a similar problem, I created new view
controller object from -printOperationWithSettings:, and that view
object in turn creates the view that I want to print. That view
implements various other subviews, but I was still having problems
breaking pages at appropriate points. The subviews, however, can say
where they should be broken by using -adjustPageHeightNew:. In my
NSTableView subclass, which was the main element in the view, I
implemented that method as follows:
-(void)adjustPageHeightNew:(CGFloat *)newBottom top:(CGFloat)top
bottom:(CGFloat)proposedBottom limit:(CGFloat)bottomLimit
{
*newBottom = proposedBottom;
NSInteger indexCount = [deduction lineCount]-1;
for (NSInteger i = indexCount; i>0; i--)
{
NSRect rowRect = [self frameOfCellAtColumn:[self
columnWithIdentifier:@"MyColumn"] row:i];
float bottomOfRow = rowRect.origin.y + rowRect.size.height;
if (bottomOfRow < proposedBottom)
{
*newBottom = bottomOfRow + 1.0;
break;
}
}
}
So, the for loop just goes through the table and adjusts *newBottom so
that it breaks at appropriate places. There is probably some more
efficient way to check where the page should be broken, but the above
implementation works just fine.

to ask yourself.
* What's printing is a view. How tall is that view? Is it tall
enough to
contain 500 lines?
* Also: In drawRect:(NSRect)rect, what is rect?
