You have forgotten the pdfpic environment.

\begin{figure}
\begin{pdfpic}
\begin{pspicture}(2, 2)
\psset{linecolor=black, linewidth=1.2pt}
\psline(0.2, 0.2)(1, 0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{pdfpic}
\end{figure}

You have also to set shell_escape = t in texmf.cnf or (better) to call
pdflatex with the -shell-escape option.

BTW at my home dvips fails to generate the eps file...
