GhostScript's printer drivers have an internal notion of margins.  They crop
off everything that falls out of them.  I had to reduce right margin on my
installation in order not to lose some page space.


The top margin is probably reduced because gs believes that you use different
paper size than the one required by .ps file.  It always tries to align
bottom margin right.  If the file requires a4, you will have to specify
PAPERSIZE=a4 on gs command line.

It would have helped have you enumeratd the things you have tried.
