You are correct; dvips is invoking lpr without the "-Pprintername"
option. A fix should go out to public machines in one or two weeks.
In the meantime, a workaround is to print to a postscript file (with
"dvips -o /tmp/filename.ps") and print that with "lpr -Pprintername
filename". And, of course, dvips works as long as you are printing to
the default printer.
