I suppose my problem is related to this:

>>>

// Return the drawing rectangle for a particular page number
- (NSRect)rectForPage:(int)page {
    NSRect bounds = [self bounds];
    float pageHeight = [self calculatePrintHeight];
    return NSMakeRect( NSMinX(bounds), NSMaxY(bounds) - page * 
pageHeight,
                        NSWidth(bounds), pageHeight );
}
<<<

I never defined 'bounds', since my view is not on-screen.

Shouldn't I tell my NSView subclass to set bounds according to the 
printer's
paper size? But at which moment of time?

The document's print operation gets started from within my 
NSPersistentDocument
subclass:

>>>

- (void)printShowingPrintPanel:(BOOL)showPanels {
    // Obtain a custom view that will be printed

   [[self printInfo]  setHorizontalPagination:NSAutoPagination];
   [[self printInfo]  setVerticalPagination:NSAutoPagination];

    // Construct the print operation and setup Print panel
    NSPrintOperation *op = [NSPrintOperation
                printOperationWithView:printView  // <<<< THIS IS MY 
VIEW TO GET PRINTED >>>
                printInfo:[self printInfo]];
    [op setShowPanels:showPanels];
    if (showPanels) {
        // Add accessory view, if needed
    }

    // Run operation, which shows the Print panel if showPanels was YES
    [self runModalPrintOperation:op
                delegate:nil
                didRunSelector:NULL
                contextInfo:NULL];
}
