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::.).
