This is the comment which I found in the NSPrintInfo.h file from MacOSX sdk:

/* Set or get the values of the paper attributes. Because an NSPrintInfo's paper name,
 paper size, and orientation attributes must be kept consistent, invocation of any of
 the setting methods in this group may affect the values returned by subsequent invocations
 of any of the getting methods in this group. For example, paper name and paper size
 must always agree, and the value returned by -paperSize always takes
 orientation into account.
*/
@property (nullable, copy) NSPrinterPaperName paperName;
@property NSSize paperSize;
@property NSPaperOrientation orientation;


macOS Mojave, version 10.14.5
