printer and canvas

[mario tan]

hi guys!

I am currently developing a java application which does this:

1. enables the user to draw geomtrical shapes in a canvas.
2. enables the user to save the canvas as an image file(.png, .gif, .jpg)
3. enables the user to print the drawing in a canvas as a form of a hard copy, that is, you are able to access a printer device.

However, I have no idea on what to do on #3.
Can anyone there help me?

A simple demonstration would be of great help. A sample code would also do.

Your response would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
