Re: Still problems resizing my view for printer [SOLVED]

Great hint! I copied parts of MultiplePageView's code and changed 
(void)updateFrame
to this:

>>>

- (void)updateFrame {
   NSRect rect = NSZeroRect;
   rect.size = [printInfo paperSize];
   rect.size.height = rect.size.height * numPages;
   if (numPages > 1) rect.size.height +=  (numPages - 1);
   
    if ([self superview]) {
        rect.size = [self convertSize:rect.size toView:[self 
superview]];
    }
   
    [self setFrame:rect];
}
<<<

I had to change this method from MultiplePageView, since my view is a 
'pure'
view in IB and thus has no surrounding superview. Now, my NSView 
subclass filles the
complete printer's page and is top-left aligned on the printed page.
