You can actually test printing in the simulator, somewhere in the setting (sorry, not near my computer at the moment) there is an option to turn on the print server. When you test it will output a PDF.

In the iOS simulator look under the File menu. You'll find "Open Printer Simulator". This will provide several different simulated printers.

Since Xcode 6 you have to download it separately: Hardware IO Tools

This package includes additional hardware i/o tools formerly bundled in the Xcode installer. These tools include: Apple Bluetooth Guidelines Validation, Bluetooth Explorer, HomeKit Accessory Simulator, IO Registry Explorer, Network Link Conditioner.prefpane, PacketLogger and Printer Simulator. These graphic tools support running on OS X 10.10 and OS X 10.9.
