There's a debug callback for PaperColumn which will print this
information automatically.
Add this to your \layout block:
\context {
\Score
\override PaperColumn.stencil = #ly:paper-column::print
}
If you're using Frescobaldi, there's an option to turn this on automatically.

ly:context-property takes a context as first argument. This is not
available from a grob callback - it passes the grob instead.

You don't set this to anything that the grob will read (see below).

ly:text-interface::print grob looks at the 'text property.
Unless the grob supports text-interface (which NoteHead doesn't) you
should use the helper function grob-interpret-markup instead which
takes the grob and a markup as arguments.
