1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. The print-dialog is natively application-modal, so I think there is no way to activate any Java Frame.

With best regards. Petr.

The documentation states that both methods display the dialogs application-modally, so I suppose there is no way to bring other Java windows on top of them.

I'd suggest to look at how the dialog is created in the printing code in JDK, and make sure they show the dialog modally (using the native modality support on OS X). In this case the OS will not allow one to Alt-Tab out of the print dialog to another window of the same app until the dialog is closed.
