When I run it through latex, there are only slight differences. One is
in the beginning, where the headers are a little different, the other is
at the end when TeX says how much of it's memory has been used.

I don't get this error, and I don't have this link - it just uses
8r.enc. Could you please check that your installation is up-to-date and
correct - possibly by using the command

apt-get --reinstall install tetex-bin tetex-base

and trying again, after you've removed the link and ran texhash? If the
error is still there, please run dvips the following way:

dvips -d 70 tetest.dvi 2>&1 > dvips.log

and send us the resulting logfile?

Thanks in advance,
Frank
