What were you trying to do?
	Print a DVI file: dvips -o filename.ps filename.dvi

What's wrong:
	The ps file generated by dvips was A4 size, so it didn't print when I used lpr on it.

What should have happened:
	The ps output should have been letter size.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Uh... I just asked a friend how to specify letter size, and I was told to add "-t letter" on the command line, which worked fine.
