You are trying to update a QSizeF object and according to the PyQt docs
the relevant augmented assignments take a Python float not a
QtCore.qreal.

But I tried converting to floats and got the same problem you did.

The answer I think is to avoid assignments to C++ reference return
values (esp. since the rwidth() and rheight() methods don't appear in
the docs which may be a hint that they don't work:-)

So maybe write something like this instead (untested):

self.paperSize.setWidth(self.paperSize.width() * \
	(view.logicalDpiX() / float(printer.logicalDpiX)))
self.paperSize.setHeight(self.paperSize.height() * \
	(view.logicalDpiY() / float(printer.logicalDpiY)))
