It all depends on what program you use for convertivg DVI files to PostScript.

Some DVI-to-PostScript converters are very well written, and will do the right
thing on any PostScript printer.  You won't get the best results of course, if
you use pixel fonts with the wrong resolution, or if you use write-black fonts
on a write-white printer or vice versa, but the result will always come out at
the right size, and at the right position on the page.

Others depend heavily on a particular type of PostScript printer, or even on a
particular revision of the PostScript interpreter.

I don't know what DVI-to-PostScript converter you use, and I haven't seen the
output it generates, so I can't tell you what goes wrong, but I would guess it
does something like @@setmatrix'' with fixed arguments.
