I'm trying to use dvips to produce a ps file. On Fedora dvips seems only to send the output to lpr. Is there a way of taking file.tex (which includes .eps figures) and producing file.ps?

You need to specify the Output file explicitly:
dvips TeXFileName -o OutputFileName.ps
See 'man dvips' for more information.

Hi guys, man dvips is not helpful in telling you where the config file is. /usr/share/texmf/pdvips/config/config.ps is the name, a rather odd one to my mind. Anyway, edit that, and comment out the pipe to printer. This is a very counter-intuitive (and potentially expensive) default. Could it be changed for FC5? Bill
If you want it changed, better file an RFE with Bugzilla. This default behavior has been around for some time.
