You have to check the "save at original size" box when saving to
postscript. Otherwise the image is saved at the same size as it is
displayed (which is limited by your screen size). I have successfully
converted 3200x2400 pixel pictures to postscript with xv (which
nicely fills an A4 page at 300 dpi).
