Printing on macosx: what's best way to print a nstableview

I'm having an issue printing from my desktop application on macosx. I built a view in my IB file that I use for printing. Then a call my action that throu

printOp = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:self.myPrintView printInfo: printInfo];

print the NSView.

Just before that I use a simple function 

[self displayPrintingData];

to build up my data on the view

-(void)displayPrintingData {

   //header
   self.headerData.alignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
   self.headerData.string = @"bla bla bla";
   self.footerData.string = @"ribla ribla ribla";

   [self.printTableView reloadData];
}

My problem is that I need to print as many line as I inserted (using different nsview and different nstableview). How can I reach the goal to shorten or lengthen my NSTableView? Is this the best way to print dynamically multiple lines?

thanks in advance for your suggestions!!!!!

cheers

Example:

NSPrintOperation *printOperation = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:self.printTableView];
NSPrintInfo *printInfo = printOperation.printInfo;
[printInfo.dictionary setObject:@YES forKey:NSPrintHeaderAndFooter];
[printOperation runOperation];

Note: the view is the tableview. This is a subclass of NSTableView with methods:

- (NSAttributedString *)pageHeader
{
    return [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"bla bla bla"];
}

- (NSAttributedString *)pageFooter
{
    return [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"ribla ribla ribla"];
}
