Assigning Dimensions to a Print

MacOS Big Sur - 11.7.4

I have photo paper with (4 - 6)" dimensions.

I want to print a credit card size photo on this paper with (84 - 53)mm dimensions.

How can I do this? - Thanks

The print dialog (⌘P) looks like this (with an un-shown preview on the left):

I've chosen to print on US letter sized paper with a size of 53 x 84 mm.

I'm not sure if Big Sur is exactly like this, but I think it was similar...

That's great Richard - thanks! I couldn't figure out what the Photo Size fields were all about. From your note it's obvious that the first field is Height and the second is Width. It would have been nice had they just labeled the fields this way instead of those 2 opposite facing arrows which is just confusing. But thanks to your reply, I am good now.

Since it displays a preview (which I didn't show), trial and error was easy. I did it the wrong way first, of course.
