lpr (lpd) should take .ps output directly regardless of the printer
being PostScript enabled or not. If not PS enabled, the driver takes care
of translating it.

I expect the ps -> png conversion is done at the bounding box not the
page size, which crops off the margins from the original print and resets
the .png image to the top corner. PostScript coords are given in inches
from the corner of the page. PNG files are like a GRASS x,y location with
a 0,0 corner. ie by doing the conversion you are throwing away the
"georeferencing" in the PS file.

see earlier discussions about the meaning of PostScript/EPS bounding
boxes WRT r.out.file & the EPS driver.
