 We will use the java.awt.print API. The simplest workflow for printing with this API consists of the following steps:
 
-1. Obtain a java.awt.print.PrinterJob instance.
-2. Pass a java.awt.print.Printable or java.awt.print.Pageable object to the PrinterJob instance (we will use Pageable since it fits our needs better).
-3. Call PrinterJob.printDialog() and if it returns true, call PrinterJob.print().

 The only thing we need to do to make this work in Sophie2 is to create a custom Pageable object at step 2. We will create a java.awt.print.Book (which implements Pageable) by passing it a PagePainter (implements Printable) object which can print each page of a Sophie2 book. PagePainter's constructor will have one parameter of type BookView. The PagePainter.print method will draw a page from the BookView (by given page index) to a given Graphics2D object. The drawing will be done in the exact same way as "export to pdf".
