How to grab the printer icon click event from PrintDocument
I am using PrintDocument for printing my reports. My boss has required that the report do this sequence of actions:
1. Preview report
2. When printer button is clicked, go to a PrintDialog to edit printer settings
3. Print report
Now, I've found that I can assign a BeginPrint event to the document, but that triggers both when the preview is printed and when the printer icon is clicked. I need something that is going to catch the print icon click event from the preview of a PrintDocument.

This doesn't tell me anything about the PrintPreviewDialog, which is what is used to preview a report for a PrintDocument. The ShowDialog() method on the PrintPreviewControl displays the report in the form, and presents the user with a "print" button.
If that button is clicked, the report prints.
I need to be able to intercept that button click so I can present the user with a PrintDialog before printing occurs.
