Not sure why this should happen, are you certain to pass in the correct 
rectangle? As far as I remember there is no special handling for 
printing in NSTableView that would switch off the header.
What you could always try is to print a super view of the table, that 
definitly should include everything.

That is easy, just create a subclass of NSView and let the isFlipped 
method return true.

I would prefer this solution, as it helps to improve GNUstep printing.
