Does the 'DESC' file in 'devps' contain 'papersize /etc/papersize a4'? If you upgrade to 1.19+ you would also have:- "o The paper size is now emitted via the %%DocumentMedia and PageSize mechanisms so that it is no longer required to tell `gv' or `ps2pdf' about the paper size. The `broken' flag value 16 omits this feature (the used PostScript command `setpagedevice' is a LanguageLevel 2 extension) -- if you intend to further process grops output to get an encapsulated PS (EPS) file you must also use this option.
