It's a custom dialog created in gnumeric itself, you can load it with
glade (on my system it's /usr/share/gnumeric/0.74-bonobo/glade/print.glade).
If you provide the glue, you can easily reuse it in your app directly
using the Gtk::GladeXML module (if your app is GPL, of course, since
gnumeric is a GPL app).
The glue you need to provide is the signal handlers for the buttons
and maybe some other small stuff.
The preview is done with a Gnome::Print widget: the module source has an
example in GnomePrint/samples/print.pl.
