Some random quotes that might help...

"Dvips has its own configuration files: a file `config.ps' for
sitewide defaults, and a file `config.PRINTER' for each printer (output
device).  Since these are site-specific, `make install' does not create
them; you must create them yourself." (from the info file)

" The simplest way to create a new configuration file is to copy and
modify the file `dvipsk/contrib/config.proto'[...]" (from the info file)
(This file isn´t on my system, but they give the contents in the info page.)

"P s Load config.$s" (from dvips --help)

Well, I´d guess you aren´t giving the new printer mode correctly.
Also consider asking on comp.text.tex.

Cheers,
  Colin
