I usually use:
dvips -Z -o outputfile.ps inputfile.dvi
'-Z' compresses bitmap fonts (if you happen to use them in the dvi), and
somehow produces smaller postscript files. '-o' makes dvips to make a
postscript file (rather than damping it to printer). After that you can
view the postscript file ('gv' or 'ghostview'), and if you're happy
with it 'lpr outputfile.ps'.
Try 'man dvips' for more options.
