The problem is that text objects must be on real windows in order to print.

Instead of creating a new Text object to do your printing, just put a second  
text object somewhere else in your window.

Make otherText the id of that text object.

	[window addSubview:otherText]
	[otherText moveTo:1e30 :1e30];

Now shove the stuff you want into otherText and have it print...
