It could be that you have contradictory paper-size variables.
I ran into a similar problem with the utility "ps2pdf" the other day.
The postscript file I'd generated was in A4 but ps2pdf turned it into a
US-letter size pdf. The solution in that case was to add the switch
-sPAPERSIZE=a4.
What I'd suggest is:
* Try writing a PS file out using C-u M-x pr-ps-buffer-print.
* Check that the file is the paper size you expect. Try a couple of
viewers.
* Try using C-u M-x ps-print-buffer instead.
If not the paper sizes are wrong then that could be a system setup
issue. You can probably fix it by adding a switch somewhere or
redefining and environmental variable, though I don't know which one.
