We have experienced  similar problems with our Laserjet IID with
postscript cartridge. In particular it sometimes prints in
microscopic mirror-image print  when we use dvi2ps to convert
the dvi to ps.  Is this  a known bug ?
We do not seem to have this problem when we use dvips. 
Incidentally can dvips be made to function with the psfig package.
