Hi John,

I haven't had time to take a close look at this.  My initial
suggestions is to experiment with the paper size

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('PS')
import matplotlib.backends.backend_ps as backend_ps
backend_ps.defaultPaperSize = 11,8.5  # default is 8.5, 11

You may also have to specify a landscape portrait at print time, or
rotate it.

I'll take a closer look later.
