This prompts me to ask how you got from file.tex to file.ps.

I get the impression from the LaTeX Companion that portland
requires you to insert \special commands (after the \clearpage
commands) to turn the page.

I use lscape myself which works fine. It'll happily do A3
landscape too with dvips -t a3 -m -O and some offsets,
picking up the A3 from the manual feed tray.
