Do you really need postscript? Most printers can work with PDF
these days.

My system cannot resolve your address. You would better embed your
symbol into the schematic, and attached it.

You can omit '-f ps', the extension is automatically determined by
output file extension.

You can output directly to PDF using '-o tt.pdf'.

You can choose orientation with the '--layout' option.

There is also a nice program 'pdftk' which can post-process PDFs
as you wish.

'-s' ('--size') may mangle output scale. I wouldn't recommend it
unless you want some visual effects ;-)

There is another option '-k' ('--scale'). Try it.
