You probably missed the context.

Try t.tex

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\begin{document}
bla bla bla ... %repeat a 1000 times!
\end{document}

Compile as follows:
latex t.tex
dvips -t a4 -P pdf t.dvi -o
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 t.ps

Notice the papersizes mentioned in t.tex, dvips and ps2pdf. This gives
me ~1in with an error of 1/32in margins around the bla bla bla ....

Regards.
