If you are saying device,xsize=240,ysize=260, then, yeah. I believe
that the default units for PS are cms!

That in itself should be useful, but, to fill up a page, try

set_plot,'PS'
device,/inches,xoffset=1, yoffset=1
device,/inches,xsize=6.5, ysize=9

This sets up a standard 8.5"x11" paper with one inch margins. You
can figure out the sizing you need for your case. Note that I
believe specifying landscape will exchange the x and y axes.

Hope that helps.
