Thanks for your answer.

Meanwhile, I red the archives and already test this solution. It don't
work. I think the reason is that I create the WebView and I don't
include it in a window. So before [printOperation runOperation]
documentView is *nil*. Note that if you set the WebView for the
printOperation, documentView exists after runOperation.

Perhaps I hadn't see a good exemple in the archives, if someone has a
code exemple.
