Scott, Yes, the common way would be to create a superview, with multiple subviews (ie, with the diagram view and a view with the text values, laid out how you want them to print), then print the superview. Another method some people use to print is to use a WebView, as you can just generate very basic html (including graphics), and then use CSS to format/arrange it properly.
