Well, you are on a different distro that I, openSUSE 11.2.  I suspect you
need to install texlive-latex or some combination of texlive and latex as
the dvips binary is needed:
  dvips - convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript
        
14:56 wahoo:~ > rpm -q --requires muttprint
  LaTeX  
  psutils  
  perl  
  perl-Text-Iconv  
  perl-TimeDate  
  rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
  rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
  /usr/bin/env  { from coreutils }
  libc.so.6()(64bit)  
  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)  
  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)  
  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)  
  rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1

your system's requirements will be different as you do not use rpm.  I
suspect you are on a debian derivative, synaptics *should* provide a list
of the required supporting packages.  I don't know how you installed
muttprint, but I would have expected your system to have complained that
a required package was missing.

let me know if I can help more.
