Looks like a bug in dvips -- when I do dvips f.dvi expecting it
to go to the printer I get the error "Can't open output pipe". Lines from
the strace are below, clearly the stat64 call should fail.

25493 read(3, "% teTeX\'s config.ps. Thomas Esse"..., 4096) = 2366
25493 stat64("|lpr", 0xbfffea50)        = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
director

This is a known "bug" in RH 8.0, although it seems to be intended because dvips now runs in secure mode by default. There is nothing left but first producing a ps file out of a dvi file and then print normally the ps file.
