If you're using linux, freebsd, or osx, try this command:
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=11x17 file.ps

I can't remember what the issue(s) were, but that's what I wrote last 
summer when I was making shell scripts to do tabloid paper.

In case you're interested, here's the whole command that makes a 
booklet with letter-sized pages (using tabloid-sized paper folded in 
half)

psbook $1.ps | psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter | ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=11x17 - 
tab-$1.pdf
