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). -- Paul
