There is a major problem with lyx handling of custom paper sizes when
exporting to postscript. In fact, LyX exports to the default paper size!
If I run from the command line "dvips -o out.ps -T5.5in,8.5in out.dvi"
then the exported ps file uses statement paper: provided you've setup
dvips' config.ps first otherwise you still get your default paper.
I'm looking into this now. Expect a patch shortly.
