This is a rather contorted route.  Although it might not solve your problem,
I'd be suprised if you couldn't go from TIFF to HP via PBM.  If PS is
the only viable intermediate, which is unlikely and it is severe overkill,
you would almost certainly be better off with the TIFF to PS convertor.
tiff2ps is intended to work with real, and quite old, Postscript printers
and does things to minimise printing time, rather than produce the best
postscript in the world.

Incidentally, in a linux world, and given that you need it anyway for 
hylafax, why aren't you using ghostscript for the PS to HP step?

Again this doesn't particularly help, but bottom left is the origin of
the Postscript coordinate system.
