Another alternative, if all you want to do is print your diagram, is to
edit the postscript -- you only need add two or three lines to it. To
scale to diagram, add a line of the form '0.5 0.5 scale' following the
'%%EndComments' line near the beginning -- that'll make your diagram
half the size. You may also want to add '72 72 translate' or similar
to move the diagram up and left across the page (depending on your
printer). Then just add the line 'showpage' to the end of the file,
and send the result to your printer.
If all that gets too tedious, I could send you the script I wrote to
automate the process :)
