No. But it seems that the dvips uses automatically A4, the two different
pdfs (one via pdflatex, one via dvips-ps2pdf) also contain different
page formats:
pdflatex-version:
	216x280mm
latex-dvips-ps2pdf-version:
	210x297mm (A4)

Interestingly the top margin of the pdflatex version when printed was
*huge*, much too big.

Anyway, it was my stupid error, let's forget about it.

Best wishes

Norbert

the embarrassment of the lack of visibility for the rest of the
