Examples how I use gnome-print-paper in gLabels:

1) I use gnome_print_paper_get_list() to get the list of available page
sizes to categorize available label templates in the "new label" dialog
-- A user in the US does not need to wade through tons of A4 templates
to locate a US-Letter template, and vise versa.  I also use this list to
generate generic "Full page" templates at run-time for all available
page sizes.

2) I use gnome_print_paper_get_by_name() to query the physical page size
for a given label template.  This physical page size is used throughout
the program for laying out labels at print time, creating the generic
"Full page" templates, and in a mini-preview widget used at various
points in the program.
