Thanks for all those people gave me lots of valuable advice, now I am in a much better shape.

You might want to print to a file, which doesn't works, since dvips
assumes as a default that it directly operates with a PostScript Printer
that is driven by UNIX Standart printing spooler lpr.
As an administrator you can change the default behaviour of teTeX's
dvips by 'texconfig', but you should take a bit care when doing so,
since you have to choose resolutions and page offsets that behave quite
different on different hardware and media.
The best default is achieved with a simple
dvips file.dvi -o file.ps
for example which tells dvips to write it's output into the PostScript
file "file.ps".
You can alsoo achieve good and portable results by using pdftex:
pdftex file.tex
directly produces file.pdf, that is much better handled in conjunction
with MS Windows Computers that don't have good PostScript support but
can handle PDF files through acrobat reader.
