I'm not sure why your subject line mentions Laserjet 6L, since what you're clearly interested in is dvi and ps. However, my understanding is that grayscaling is a postscript-level feature, and there's therefore no way to represent it in DVI (other than as a "special" which, by my understanding, means essentially "pass to some other interpreter). You therefore need to translate from dvi to ps (or pdf) before you can see anything grayscaled. A relatively quick, painless way to deal with this is to use pdflatex instead of latex, which will run your work directly from latex to pdf and let you view it with a pdf viewer (gv, xpdf, acroread, etc.).
