The fix of this bug is not only a nice-to-have for printers which are usually be used with paper much smaller or much larger than A4 or Letter, but it is essentially important that the document sent to the printer has the page size requested in the job (PPD default or user-requested).
Your template page is A4, and if you send an A4-sized document to a laser printer with Letter loaded, the printer will refuse to print and ask to insert A4. So it is essentially important that test pages and banners are sent out in the size assigned to the job (default size of PPD or size requested by user).
So the bug needs to get fixed quickly (wanted to set it to "Release Critical" but I cannot change Importance).
