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
Individual users can set these defaults for themselves using the
texconfig(1) CLI utility. Individual user settings are kept in
~/.texmf-config.
