Thanks! I see that I have tetex-bin installed. While dvips is a command, I also saw it called a "driver," and so used the term. Wrongly, apparently. My printing results are uneven. That is, from emacs, "postscript print buffer" works, but "print buffer" creates an error (offending command: 2004-02-06; error info: null). When I send a file to lpr, I get the step problem. Abiword prints OK. When I display a document in ghostview, and try to print, a dialog pops up asking for the printer name. When I try to supply it, ghostview hangs.
