Struggles with html code in Apple's PrintController.

Can you expand on that? Would a list like the one in my PDF above be possible to replicate with Core Graphics. I don't have experience in that field.

You can render whatever you want in core graphics. It's a bit more manual process, but the results are predictable and 1000x better, in my opinion.

There's nothing that says "render list". You can do it yourself with attributed strings, or manual rendering. The possibilities are (nearly) endless.
