I thought 8.5x11 was Letter size.

Grumble. Darned european tools always default to that funky
page size.

Damn right too :-) But why aren't you using dvips if you're using TeX?

Somebody _always_ finds a problem with my postscript. Good thing I
didn't bet the big money!

Nothing wrong with your PS. It just needs the margins setting so it
prints on both A4 and Letter paper (and has all trace of hard-coded
paper sizes removed). Then no-one will be any the wiser.
