Actually, I think that a PDFView may be the way to go for me. I can turn the 
representations into NSImages, the NSImages into PDFPages, put the PDFPages 
together into a PDFDocument, throw the PDFDocument into a PDFView, and then 
print the PDFView. At least there's no fiddling around with rectangles...
