Well, the good news is that dvi2ps seems to be executing.  There might be 
some kind of problem with the path to the dvi file.  What happens if you 
try to export a file from LyX as Postscript?  Do you get an error 
message?  

LyX should create a temporary directory, output a TeX file to that 
directory, run latex against it (so that the DVI file is in the temp 
directory), then run dvi2ps against that DVI file and write the PS file 
to the directory containing the original LyX document.  The same should 
happen with the printer (other than not writing PS file to disk).  
Another thing to try is to print a document and then, without closing the 
LyX document, look in the temporary directory and see if a DVI file was 
written there (and whether its name matches the one in the error 
message).
