This kind of thing can be very particular to particular
printers. Dvips has a command-line option (-O) which lets you
fine-tune the placement of the printed page on the physical page.

>From the Info document for dvips:


`-O X-OFFSET,Y-OFFSET'
     Move the origin by X-OFFSET,Y-OFFSET, a comma-separated pair of
     dimensions such as `.1in,-.3cm' (*note papersize special::.).  The
     origin of the page is shifted from the default position (of one
     inch down, one inch to the right from the upper left corner of the
     paper) by this amount.  This is usually best specified in the
     printer-specific configuration file.

     This is useful for a printer that consistently offsets output
     pages by a certain amount.  You can use the file `testpage.tex' to
     determine the correct value for your printer.  Be sure to do
     several runs with the same `O' value--some printers vary widely
     from run to run.

     If your printer offsets every other page consistently, instead of
     every page, your best recourse is to use `bop-hook' (*note
     PostScript hooks::.).
