This is already handled inside the existing print dialog, although not 
in its collapsed state. Clicking the disclosure button adds controls 
to allow you to select the paper size and orientation. There are other 
controls you can add (or remove) as well, search the documentation for 
NSPrintPanelOptions (used with NSPrintPanel's -setOptions: method).
