Please do not use the '-z' option, if you don't exactly know, what it does.
Normaly you don't need this option. Only if you want make such crasy things
like 'print four pages at one paper' is this a usefull option.

You want use the draft modus of the printer (-o 1). This is here 180dpi.
So, the printer prints with an resolution of 180dpi.
But with the '-z 360' option, you tell the program, 'please make a bitmap
with 360 dpi'. So it's very clear, that the output is to big!

So try it without the '-z' option and all should ok.
If you want *print* with 360dpi, set the '-o 0' option.

PS: I've removed the comp.text.tex' usegroup, because this is a very
    AMIGA specific problem.
