An additional hint:

If I replace all occurences of a4 (my paper size, works exactly the same with
letter) with a1234 in my PS file, then the scaling is fine. Maybe dvips uses
a4 in a different way than GS, or maybe setting the paper size in GS uses the
horizontal size of the screen and the document to fit the size???

At least the TeX output can be previewed again with GS.
