Search the mailing list archives, I'm certain that the problem has been discussed before. However, first run lilypond again with the flag lilypond --verbose test.ly to get more information on what's up. Especially, check the output lines related to dvips. For the paper size, the default in LilyPond is A4, since the main authors live in Europe. The manual tells you how to change to letter size or whatever you prefer. However, I don't think that's the main problem here.

Is the problem the "a4"s? It looks like something thinks I'm in Europe.
What config file should I check?
TIA
