To use a PostScript small caps font with dvips, you do not want to add
an entry to psfonts.map; the small caps is handled through a virtual
font.  The virtual font and its tfm file (and the font it calls) is
*all* you need.  Thus, for instance, you would

afm2tfm Times-Roman -V ptmrc rptmr
vptovf ptmrc.vpl ptmrc.vf ptmrc.tfm
cp ptmrc.vf tex:vf
cp ptmrc.tfm tex:fonts

and you are done.  No editing of psfonts.map; hopefully the rptmr.tfm
already exists.
