ps options:
 --psfile <string>              Postscript output file
 --drill-helper                 Prints a centering target in large drill holes
 --align-marks                  Prints alignment marks on each layer
 --outline                      Prints outline on each layer
 --mirror                       Prints mirror image of each layer
 --fill-page                    Scale board to fill page
 --auto-mirror                  Prints mirror image of appropriate layers
 --ps-color                     Prints in color
 --ps-bloat <num>               Amount to add to trace/pad/pin edges (1 = 1/100 mil)
 --ps-invert                    Draw images as white-on-black
 --media <A0|A1|A2|A3|A4|A5|A6|A7|A8|A9|A10|B0|B1|B2|B3|B4|B5|B6|B7|B8|B9|B10|Letter|11x17|Ledger|Legal|Executive|A-Size|B-size|C-Size|D-size|E-size|US-Business_Card|Intl-Business_Card>
                        media type
 --psfade <num>                 Fade amount for assembly drawings (0.0=missing, 1.0=solid)
 --scale <num>                  Scale value to compensate for printer sizing errors (1.0 = full scale)
 --multi-file                   Produce multiple files, one per page, instead of a single file.
 --xcalib <num>                 X-Axis calibration (paper width).
 --ycalib <num>                 Y-Axis calibration (paper height).
 --drill-copper                 Draw drill holes in pins / vias, instead of leaving solid copper.

Options map directly to configuration names in ~/.pcb/settings, for
example, mine has:

xcalib = 1.0040
ycalib = 1.0034

You could putting this in there:

media = A4
multi-file = 1

eps/ps require that colors are specified as #RRGGBB (like #6699aa) as
they cannot reliably parse color names (like "red") without the GUI
running (i.e. script mode).

My eps pins and pads are medium grey.
