Is there a way to crop arbitrary subrectangle from a postscript file, from
arbitrary position?

I tried printing 218x91.5 cm page (landscape), but the printer run out of
memory and printed only 120x91.5 cm from the right part of the page (well,
poster...). So now I want to crop the page and print _left_ part of the
page, using page size of about 98x91.5 or so.

I tried using psutils (pstops) but couldn't achieve that... I also tried
editing "BoundingBox" in the Postscript  file by hand (is it that which
tells the printer what page size to use?). This way I was able to crop the
right half of the page, leaving out the left part... which is just the
opposite what I'm trying to do.

first be sure, that you have an eps-format. ps takes the bounding box absolute. Convert it to eps, if it is a ps one. Now you should be able to manipulate the bb by hand.
