Thread: Get JPrintPreviewDialog for button response

I am trying to program a GUI for my own print preview dailog. The Frame just opens a dialog and passes a Image object to it.

public class JPrintPreviewDialog extends JDialog{
 
    public JPrintPreviewDialog(JFrame owner, Image view) {
        super(owner, "Print preview dialog.");
 
        Container contentPane = new Container();
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
 
        JPanel backgroundPanel = new JPanel();
        backgroundPanel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
        contentPane.add(backgroundPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
 
        m_page = new JPagePanel(view);
        backgroundPanel.add(m_page, new GridBagLayout());
 
        JMenuPanel menuPanel = new JMenuPanel();
        contentPane.add(menuPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
 
        this.setSize(new Dimension(640, 500));
 
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        this.setVisible(true);
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    }
 
    private JPagePanel m_page;
}

it has a grey background panel backgroundPanel, white panel that is the printer paper, and panel that is the southern borderlayout menu that contains a print button.

How can i fire a print event from the button that is on the JMenuPanel? The JFrame
implements printable.
