Are you trying to generate an EPS file or just purely PS?

If the former, you need to specify:

 horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special"

as it indicates in the "Details" section of ?postscript

In both cases, you also need to specify the 'height' and 'width'
arguments, when using the "special" paper type.

For example, this works for me:

postscript(file = "MyFile.ps", height = 10, width = 15, 
           paper = "special", onefile = FALSE, horizontal = FALSE)

barplot(1:10)

dev.off()

I may be missing what you are trying to do, so if this is not helpful,
please post back a reproducible example of what you are trying to do.

HTH,
