Sorry, I mixed up what output device I'm actually using. I wonder why it doesnt work with ps, though. Is that a shortcoming of grops? PS itsself should support that, should it not? Sorry for randomly guessing. I think if PS does per se not support different paper sizes I will have to change to DVI, just have to see how to convert it to PDF afterwards.
