Well, here are the steps:

1. load the file using javax.imageio.ImagIO. This will give you a BufferedImage. Suppose you had called that BufferedImage "bufferedImage".
2. Use the print API

cut/paste from the print tutorial, with slight modification

import java.awt.print.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class HelloWorldPrinter implements Printable {

  public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws
                                                        PrinterException {

    if (page > 0) { /* We have only one page, and 'page' is zero-based */
         return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    }

    /* User (0,0) is typically outside the imageable area, so we must
     * translate by the X and Y values in the PageFormat to avoid clipping
     */
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
    g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());

    /* Now we perform our rendering */
    g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, null);

    /* tell the caller that this page is part of the printed document */
    return PAGE_EXISTS;
  }
}
