[OS X TeX] printing problem

[John Rawnsley]

Fred,

At least that shows it has nothing to do with the printer.

My final diagnostic suggestion is to unpack a fresh copy of the OzTeX  
5.2 stuffit archive somewhere different from your existing OzTeX  
setup, open the OzTeX in the resulting folder and try to DVIPS a dvi  
file. Does it still give the error?
