Does the situation improve if you delete the four non-comment lines
in the PageSetup?

%%BeginPageSetup
systemdict /setpagedevice known
{
  <</PageSize[792 612]>> setpagedevice
} if
%%EndPageSetup

I've had similar problems with %%PageBoundingBox (always delete!),
%%*Orientation, and %%DocumentMedia.


In the file I also find:

%90 rotate 0 -8.5 72 mul translate


If you do that, it is your reponsibility to adapt the BoundingBox ---
I think there are some PostScript tools to help.
(Or use gv to find the coordinates of the BoundingBox you want
 by reading the mouse pointer coordinate display.)
