Let me see if I understand your problem:
You have an a4 paper printer, but a Postscript file generated with
'dvips -t a4' doesn't print, while a file generated with 'dvips' does print.

Save the following script as mydvips:
------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ $1 == "-t" ]; then
dvips $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
else
dvips $*
fi
----------------------
and then change the dvi->ps converter (converters->converters tab) and the
print command (output->printer tab) to mydvips.
