Can't you just adjust the margins? Try this:
NSPrintInfo *printInfo = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo];
[printInfo setLeftMargin:18.0];
[printInfo setRightMargin:18.0];
[printInfo setTopMargin:18.0];
[printInfo setBottomMargin:18.0];
[printInfo setHorizontallyCentered:NO]; //assuming you don't want it
centered
[printInfo setVerticallyCentered:NO];
NSPrintOperation *op = [NSPrintOperation
printOperationWithView:yourView];
[op runOperation];
You might not be able make the top and bottom margins so small though.
Many printers can't print that close to the top and bottom edge.

How do you set the pagination to within 1/4 of the edge of the paper?
