    Package: tetex-bin
    Version: 2.0.2-15

    dvips supports -T option with arbitrary page size given as offset pair.
    the suggested version gives the following error and uses the default paper size.

    dvips -T 530mm,230mm -o ally.ps ally.dvi

    ' TeX output 2004.08.17:2144' -> ally.ps

    original dvips(k) 5.92b (suse distrib) works correct.

    my dvips has another banner that your one. Could it be dvipsk-ja
