I found the answer, sorry for not waiting longer before asking.
For anyone reading the archives, inserting
par(mar=c(5,4,4,2)+0.5) should alleviate the problem (default is +0.1).
In general,
help(par)
is a good thing to check for graphical issues.

I am using the following commands:

dev.off()
The generated output cuts off the left-hand margin. Unfortunately you
cannot fix this after the fact with bounding box as it is already set
at llx = 0.
I have looked through the help for postscript output in R, but I don't
see anything which allows me to set the margins. The page size (6x6)
is chosen because it yields a figure which has nice proportions for my
paper.
Any help appreciated.
