it's only a "oneliner" and I therefore I use latex:
------------------snip-----------------
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,landscape,a4paper,tmargin=0cm,bmargin=0cm,lmargin=0cm,rmargin=0cm}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
%\psset{xunit=1in,yunit=1in}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(0.95\textwidth,0.95\textheight)
\psgrid[subgriddiv=1](0,0)(29,20)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
------------------snip-----------------
you can use \documentclass[usletter]{article} and play around
with the values of psgrid. For a grid in inches delete the
"%" before psset
