The most likely problem is the lack of a proper config.ps file. I print oan a LaserJetIIP and have a config.LaserJetIIP in /usr/lib/tex/ps, with the following content: ------ * * With a virtual machine, we can claim 1M of memory. * m 800000 * * And send output by default to a PostScript file. * o !lpr -PLaserJetIIP * * Default resolution. * D 300 * Switch off page reversal r 0 * Last resort sizes. * R 100 120 144 300 360 400 432 480 ----- (substitute your printer's name for mine). I presume all your other applications print properly? When printing from TeXview set the custom resolution to 300 (you can do this permanently with a dwrite TeXview customdpi 300 (also, you should get the latest improved dvips and teXview from labrea.stanford.edu).
