And that's exactly what I've done. As explained in my previous note, I make the NSView too long if the material to be printed is shorter than the paperSize; this causes drawPageBorderWithSize to print correctly every time. I then, just in that one case where the material to be printed is shorter than the paperSize, take over page-rect calculation using knowsPageRange: and rectForPage:, causing there to be only one page.

The bug is thus completely worked around, at least for what I'm printing; drawPageBorderWithSize works fine. However, there's still a bug in it, as explained in my previous note, and Apple should fix it. m.
