It matters if the page is formatted to fit stuff into boxes such as the
postcode into the little boxes for automatic sorting.

It also affects the positioning on the paper.
Plus ghostscript tends to position the picture in different places on a larger
page depending on settings top left, top centre, centered....

It is not that easy to predict from printer to printer.

When ghostscript thinks the paper is correct - it prints beutifly.
But problems occur when the paper sizes dont mach.
