Perhaps you need to expressly state a paper format somewhere (a4paper as an option of article might be the first good place, and dvips -ta4 another). I had a similar problem once, and this helped.

Heading losing with fancyhdr?

you can modify the config.ps file in $TEXMF/dvips/config/ dir to make it the default for dvips. the papersize defined first is the default.

alternatively, if you don't want to modify the config.ps file or you don't have permission to do so, you can put

\specialwidth,height

in you .tex file, probably after \documentclass. replace width and height with the actually paper width and height.
