create a class wich implements printable, redefine the print method of this class with the this you want to print
and at the end of the constructor...
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat myFormat = new PageFormat();
myFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
myFormat.setPaper(ps.getMyPaper());
printJob.setPrintable(this, myFormat);
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
try {
printJob.print();
} catch (Exception pe) {
System.out.println(pe);
