I know that it is maybe not the most appropriate newsgroup , but dvips 
is referenced in the FAQs .

There was an interesting paper about Mathematica available from Berkeley .
It is available in DVI format .
I used xtex to read it under X11R4 on my Sun3 .
I wanted to print it , but I have only a PostScript printer .
I used dvips to transform the DVI file into a PostScript one .`
Nothing appeared on my printer , so I checked the file , both by looking at it,
and by using the PostScript previewers xps and ghostscript .
Obviously , dvips is not generating what I expect .
I used the version from a.cs.uiuc.edu (ftp'ed a week ago) .
I rebuilt it and it was the same .

I would be happy either to receive any clues about my problem , or to receive
information about another translator .

Have a nice day !
Thank you and best regards !
