+This function does not appear to be "officially documented" so I don't want to remove the warning from below. However over at [zevils|http://www.zevils.com/cgi-bin/man/man2html?dviprint+1] I've seen the following man page for this function:
+
+!!NAME
+dviprint - dvipsR wrapper for LyX
+!!SYNOPSIS
+dviprint [<dvips arguments>]
+!!DESCRIPTION
+dviprint is a wrapper around dvips(1) that adjusts the destination file and printer arguments (-o and -P) to handle variations in install configurations (e. g., whether dvips sends its output directly to a printer or writes to a file). It is part of the Debian packaging of the LyX editor.
+!!SEE ALSO
+dvips(1), lyx(1)
+
+This doesn't appear to be a very successful program however. It is very similar to dvips (which works nicely) except that it appears to ignore any configuration that dvips may have. From the script:
+
+ # This script prints a dvi file using dvips regardless of the actual
+ # configuration of dvips.
+
+In particular it references /usr/lib/texmf/dvips which is presumably where the dvips configuration was once upon a time. It's certainly not there on my vanilla install boxes. Probably should be
+/etc/texmf/dvips.
