I'll see what I can do...

Have you tried setting the right margin to the left one, and the top
margin to the bottom one?  A page width and/or height of zero is
supposed to be taken as infinite, but that doesn't seem to be
documented, and I've not tested it recently (and I think I only
used it with printhpgl).

That's very odd.  I can't think why they shouldn't match.
