psresize should do it for you. Just make sure you haven't mixed up the
'from' and 'to' page size arguments (lower- and upper-case, respectively).
Odds are you've got a malformed postscript file. You could try various
iterations of psfix, ps2ps, and/or ps2pdf to regenerate the file in
something that conforms more closely to the postscript standard. Sometimes
you can generate a pdf and let Acrobat take a shot at printing the file.
Best of luck,
