Thanks for the suggestions.  I looked into this for my Arch Linux but it
had no effect on ps2pdf.  Making the /etc/papersize file and then
setting PAPERSIZE=a4 or PAPERCONF=/etc/papersize did not produce an A4
pdf document (even after installing libpaper).

Setting GS_OPTIONS="-sPAPERSIZE=a4" worked.

What also worked was manually adding this to the .ps file:

%%BeginPaperSize: a4
%%EndPaperSize

I am wondering if ps-print should have known to add this because
ps-paper-type is set to a4?

Thanks,
Myles
