UIActivityViewController how to convert string to print

Question

I'm using UIActivityViewController to share some text from my app. I can send the text to messages, email, copy etc but I can't send it to print.

I see UIActivityTypePrint takes a datatype of NSData. How can I create UIActivityViewController to take my string as both a string and NSData so that the view has the print option available?

NSString *textToShare = self.note.note;
        NSArray *itemsToShare = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:textToShare, nil];
        shareVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:itemsToShare applicationActivities:nil];
        shareVC.excludedActivityTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,  UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, nil];

Got it. It doesn't take NSData directly, it takes UISimpleTextPrintFormatter.

NSString *textToShare = self.note.note;

UISimpleTextPrintFormatter *printData = [[UISimpleTextPrintFormatter alloc]
                                                         initWithText:textToShare];
NSArray *itemsToShare = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:textToShare,printData, nil];
shareVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:itemsToShare applicationActivities:nil];
shareVC.excludedActivityTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,  UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, nil];
