try including the option
                             -sPAPERSIZE=a4

My LaserJet requires the "continue" key whenever it encounters
a paper size command within the printing data stream which is different
from the size it assumes to be in use currently. Human operator shall
have an opportunity to change paper supplies :-)) Obviously netscape's
printing starts each page with an A4 specification... 

Did you set up the printer permanently for A4 size? Otherwise let's
assume that gs will do this kind of set-up semipermanently by means
of the -sPAPERSIZE option.
