    gnome_print_config_get_page_size
or
    gnome_print_job_get_page_size

depending on your needs

    gnome_print_dialog_new

is not as flexible as I'd like in two ways.  Most applications I've
seen end up using the gnomeprintui apis to create individual widgets
then adding their own (eg gnumeric).  It's also not smart enough to
allow for per printer/transport settings.

That would definitely be a 'good thing' for the 2.10 release.  Let's
discuss what extensions you'd need to make things work more
smoothly.
