I don't think redhat or debian makes any difference. It should just depend on how it is configured. Have you looked at 'texconfig dvips'? (You will probably need to run it as root.) From that menu, you can print a test page. The solution 'lpr file.ps' is just using the print command to print a ps file, it is unrelated to dvips. Have you read 'info dvips'? It says there that output from dvips can be routed to a file or printed directly. It also documents a file called config.ps that controls printing. In my config.ps (located in /usr/local/TeX/texmf/dvips/config/; note this was not a Debian installation), it has this specific comment: % How to print, maybe with lp instead lpr, etc. If commented-out, output % will go into a file by default. So, just fix that. The info page has other examples. My guess is that redhat defaults to printing and debian defaults to sending the output to a file. I hope this is helpful.
