My guess is that the default paper type for dvips is set to A4 (this is a common
default for distros ... I couldn't tell you why). So you can temporarily fix
this by doing "dvips -t letter -o paper.ps paper.dvi"
The long term configuration fix is to run texconfig ... just kinda look around
at that guy and choose the dvips configuration option and switch from A4 to letter.
