I intend to sweep funds from a paper-wallet
It's not a good idea to sweep the private key of your paper wallet. Instead, you should import your private key on an offline device (preferably to be airgapped) and then send the fund to any address you want.
Since you can't sweep your private key if the wallet is offline and your wallet has to be online, that would defeat the purpose a paper wallet.

Why sweeping the private key of a paper wallet isn't a good idea?
