I found "pstops U file.ps file-l.ps" but the resulting document had blank 
pages.

Actually  "gv -geometry 1100x800 files.ps" was not that bad
because my screen is 1024x768 and most of the borders get outside the screen.

None neither 3 nor 4 as far can rotate as I could find.

I allready did that - but that lead to vertical text.
This is however a nice way to print the thing.

No -see above.

> Any clue ? 

Yes, search no more ! - all your hints made me find a solution :

in Lyx : 
- Layout->Paper ->Orientation = Portrait
                Papersize = "own"
                Width = 29.6        * used  with/height = 1.33 =  screen proportions
                Height= 22.25
- Layout->Document ->Extra Options = dvips

- Print as file.ps

In shell
- ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf

-  acroread file.pdf

- set "full screen mode (shift ctrl-L)" and take on a confident smile ;-)


Thanks !-)
