Lots of people try and use  dvips  incorrectly like this:

  dvips file.dvi | lpr -Pprintername

Perhaps it would be useful if dvips printed some sort of warning if it's
output is piped through something.  I can't think of a good reason to
actually use the usage, so it probably wouldn't hurt anything.
