Summary:
Document based applications should hook the Print… menu to “printDocument:” but when a document based application is created using a storyboard the Print menu is hooked to “print:” and “printDocument:” must be defined by the user, which is very non-intuitive.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a project in Xcode and choose Cocoa Application.
2. Choose document-based and storyboard (Core Data is indifferent)
3. View Main.storyboard > Main Menu > File > Print… 
4. Look at its Connections inspector
5. See that Sent Actions is hooked up to “print:”

Expected Results:
The print methods on the NSDocument subclass will never get called.

Actual Results:
print: is hijacked somewhere else in the responder chain (still not quite sure where).

Workaround:
1. Choose First Responder in Main.storyboard
2. Choose Attributes Inspector
3. Add a User Defined Action for “printDocument:”
4. Hook the Print menu’s selector up to printDocument.

Now the print methods are called as expected.
